Patient's question:
6 developed the condition. Ke Pu Lan was taken at 2 ml, once a month, with symptoms lasting for 20 minutes. Now Ke Pu Lan has been discontinued, and Depakine 3.5 and Oxcarbazepine 2 ml are being used. Currently, the condition is unstable, with symptoms occurring in the afternoon, lasting for 2-5 minutes, with 1-3 episodes per day. The doctor has now prescribed Ke Pu Lan again, and I don’t know what to do.Past Treatment History: Ke Pu Lan was taken at Beijing Children’s Hospital, Depakine and Oxcarbazepine were taken at Beijing Epilepsy Hospital, Ke Pu Lan was discontinued, and now Ke Pu Lan has been prescribed again.
Doctor's answer:
Currently, both domestically and internationally, the treatment of epilepsy primarily relies on medication. After receiving standardized anti-epileptic drug treatment, approximately 70% of epilepsy patients can have their seizures controlled. Among these, 50% to 60% of patients can be cured after 2 to 5 years of treatment, allowing them to work and live just like normal people. Therefore, rational and standardized anti-epileptic drug treatment is key.
