Effect of diclofenac sodium on seizures and inflammatory profile induced by kindling seizure model

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by spontaneous and recurrent seizure episodes (Fisher et al., 2005) that affects between 1 –2% of the world population. So far, there is no cure and the treatments with anticonvulsants are not totally efficacious for the different types of epilepsy (López-Hernández et al., 2005). The side effects of tolerance, dependence, risk of death, physical injury (due to the episodes), cerebral damage and induction of psychotic reactions become a problem for clinical treatment.
