Pregnacy v/s epilepsy
Hi
My wife got pregnant recently, i think it might be 3 or 4 weeks since conception. She is on levipil 500 for controlling seizure/epilepsy. I wanted to know the drug interactions of levipil with other pregnancy medicines given to her at various stages of pregnancy. Is it safe to consume during and post pregnancy? And also if it will affect the growth of baby now or during breastfeeding? Please provide the solution. she is having a history of seizure attack once each in 2005,2010 and 2015. Please also advise on precautionary measures during pregnancy if she is on levipil 500. Is there anything to worry? Thanks

Your wife has to consult a neurologist as soon as possible!
