The factors causing grand mal seizures are-neurotransmitter imbalances-which are also influenced by fatigue, lack of sleep, hypertension, stress, intense lighting, rapid motion, blood sugar level, anxiety, etc.
The grand mal seizures market will respond very positively for any novel acting drug molecules due to poor efficacy and efficiency of the available drugs.

A significant growth in sensitivity towards patient safety and regulatory compliance may hamper the market growth, especially, in the US.

Key players profiled in the report are Pfizer, Inc., Johnson & Johnson Services, Inc., UCB Celltech, Abbott Laboratories, GlaxoSmithKline plc, Novartis AG, Sanofi, Shire Pharmaceuticals Limited, and Teva Pharmaceutical Industries
