Patient's question:
My 11-year-old daughter has epilepsy and is currently taking 15050 tablets of Tegretol. She takes two tablets per day. Currently, we cannot find 150mg tablets, only 30050mg tablets. Can we switch to taking 300mg tablets, one tablet per day, or divide one tablet into two doses per day? Please let us know. Thank you for your reply.Doctor's answer:
Okay, here is the translation, following your instructions:Okay, the key is that the drug ingredients are the same. If the dosage forms are different, the dosage can be adjusted; you can take one pill per day, or half a pill at a time, twice a day. It is crucial to ensure the ingredients are the same. If the ingredients change, or the dosage form changes, or the dosage instructions change, a doctor needs to adjust the medication.
We know that pediatric epilepsy has a significant impact on children. If it is not treated promptly or if the treatment method is incorrect, it progresses very quickly and can cause great harm to the patient. Therefore, it is important to seek timely treatment at a professional hospital for standardized treatment. This is the key.
