A child with epilepsy has not had a seizure after taking medication. Can the medication be reduced?

Patient's question:

Doctor, my son is three and a half years old. He has been taking medication for three and a half years. His EEG was normal last September and this March. Since starting medication, he hasn't had any seizures. Can the medication be reduced?

Doctor's answer:

It is appropriate to adjust the medication dosage, but it is still recommended that you go to the hospital for a follow-up check-up to see if your primary physician suggests reducing the medication dosage.
