THE CONTEXT
Anticonvulsant treatment addresses both ongoing fits and the risk of further convulsions.

•
The aim of the anticonvulsant regimen is to control fits and prevent their recurrence.
•
The source links frequent eclampsia with inadequate obstetric care and states that complicated regimens are unlikely to produce good results in such circumstances.
