Can you eat epilepsy medication while pregnant?

Patient's question:

Hello. I would like to ask, can I still take antiepileptic drugs if I am pregnant? What effects will it have on the child?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, drugs generally have an impact on children's development, and it can be quite significant, potentially hindering neural development and affecting a child's intelligence. In fact, regardless of what kind of medication it is, prolonged use can have a certain effect on the body. Adding to this, since you are currently pregnant, improper medication use can not only affect your health but also harm the fetus. It is recommended that you consult with a doctor at a local hospital for advice.
