(NEAM), Upsher-Smith Laboratories, Inc. (Upsher-Smith) is launching a new website, www.seizureclustersconnect.com, for patients and caregivers to learn more about living with seizure clusters, a rare seizure pattern experienced by some people with epilepsy. The website includes information about seizure clusters and certain seizure disorders, tips for staying independent, an events calendar and resources that may help healthcare professionals educate and counsel patients about living with seizure clusters. Seizure clusters are seizures that happen one after the other over a short period of time. There is a recovery period between each seizure and a pattern that is different from the usual seizure pattern. “Upsher-Smith is very pleased to offer this additional resource to our seizure clusters community during National Epilepsy Awareness Month, ” said Gregory P. Gilmet, MD, MPH, Senior Medical Director, Medical Affairs, Upsher-Smith. “Earlier this year, we launched a Seizure Clusters Connect Facebook page, Twitter handle and YouTube channel so that patients and caregivers have a community of support – now with the website, we are excited to be able to offer another resource that the seizure cluster community can turn to for support and information.” “The new Seizure Clusters Connect website is a welcome resource for my patients, ” said James Wheless, MD, Professor and Chair, Department of Pediatric Neurology, University of Tennessee. “The information on the site includes valuable resources that help me educate and counsel my patients about living with seizure clusters.”-more
