Various anticonvulsants, both branded and off-label are being used for the treatment of many indications such as epilepsy, fibromyalgia, migraine, neuropathic pain, bipolar disorder and anxiety. The patents of leading anticonvulsants such as Topamax (topiramate), Trileptal (oxcarbazepine), Depakote (divalproex sodium), Keppra (levetiracetam), Lamictal (lamotrigine) and Tegretol (carbamazepine) expired in 2007-2008. The wide applicability of the anticonvulsants for management of the various indications has caused the emergence of generics for these anticonvulsants in the market. This generic erosion will cause decline in the anticonvulsant market in the future.
