rhosgirl,
HereÂ’s a website that has every antiepileptic drug known of worldwide. The search and find can be done by Brand Name, Generic Name(s), and in what Country (ies).
For example, youÂ’re asking about epilem. This is a brand name for Valproate, which, according to this website, is only available in the countries of Australia, Hong Kong, Ireland, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa, and United Kingdom. It does mention though that the data may become outdated, but it sure does narrow down the details of brand and generic names. Once this is found out about, it may be more helpful for surfing the Internet for detailed information about each AED.
This website is connected through the international League Against Epilepsy. http://www.epilepsy.org/Visitors/Centre/AEDs/index.cfm
Are you in the United States?

It's called Epilim- or Sodium Valproate- Lots of info on it on the web. I went to http://medguides.medicines.org.uk/ to find it. Just use your search engine.
