Newest registrations
The latest epilepsy approvals in our copy — 4 products were registered in the twelve months to August 2026.
2 active registrations carry expiry dates within the next twelve months. A registration expiry means a renewal is due, not that the product disappears — holders routinely renew — but a lapsed number on a pack is worth checking before a large order.
The molecules behind these numbers
- Carbamazepine — 14 active registrations
- Levetiracetam — 3 active registrations
- Sodium Valproate — 1 active registrations
“Epilepsy” on this page means these molecules — the register itself has no therapeutic grouping, so a category page must say exactly what it counted.
