In addition to targeted therapies, researchers are also exploring the use of repurposed drugs for the treatment of epilepsy. Repurposed drugs are drugs that were originally developed for other indications, but have been found to be effective in the treatment of epilepsy. One example of a repurposed drug is the ketogenic diet. The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet that has been shown to be effective in reducing seizure frequency in some patients with epilepsy.

Another example of a repurposed drug is the use of statins. Statins are drugs that are commonly used to lower cholesterol levels, but have also been shown to have Anti-Epileptic Drugs properties. Recent studies have shown that statins may be effective in the treatment of refractory epilepsy, which is epilepsy that does not respond to conventional AEDs.
