About medicine for seizures
My baby girl one year 5 months old. We r giving her valparin syrup due to seizures. Doctor told to change medicine as valparin was not effective. He prescribed vinlep. He told to give 0. 8ml in the morning and 1ml at night for 2 weeks and told us to watch for side effects if any. My question is till now we were giving 4ml syrup to her. Suddenly we r changing the medicine and also the quantity. Is it OK? Will it lead lead to seizures as doctor told to reduce quantity. Pls guide

Follow you pediatrician or neurologist. Have trust on him/her. Changing or adding extra medicines is required for seizures cases. Different medicines will have different doses so we should give according to that. So dont worry much. Be under regular follow up and report any problems to your treating doctor only.
