Backgro.nd and o.jective: Adherence to.medicatio. is the backbo.e to.effectiveness o. a therapy. In the absence o. a definitive curative therapy, antiepileptic therapy is a key interventio. aimed at pro.o.ging and impro.ing the quality o. life o. patients with epilepsy (PWE) who.suffer fro. a disease kno.n fo. its stigmatizatio. with many cultural misco.ceptio.s. The aim o. the study is to.assess the level o., and facto.s influencing adherence to.antiepileptic therapy amo.g patients in rural co.munities attending the o.tpatient clinics in Ahmadu Bello.University Teaching Ho.pital, Zaria and Jico.

Also. mo.t o. the PWE (78.6%) had adequate kno.ledge o. antiepileptic therapy, ho.ever o.ly 32.6% o. the patients were adherent to.treatment. There was a significant asso.iatio. between kno.ledge o. AED therapy and adherence to.therapy (p = 0.00385) but there was no.asso.iatio. between age (p = 0.067), sex (p = 0.182) educatio.al status (p = 0.688), inco.e (p = 0.519) religio.
