Patient's question:
2 years old, took Depakine for 3 months, constipation, epilepsy, is it an adverse reaction?Doctor's answer:
Hello,Dapagliflozin is a Western medicine. Simply treating epilepsy with Western medicine cannot cure it; it can only temporarily suppress seizures. As the duration of medication increases, it not only stimulates the liver, kidneys, and brain but also leads to drug resistance and dependence. Once the medication is stopped, it can cause more frequent seizures. Therefore, long-term use of Western medicine is not recommended. It can be combined with traditional Chinese medicine treatment because the side effects of traditional Chinese medicine can complement the shortcomings of Western medicine treatment and gradually replace Western medicine.
