Patient's question:
My father had two episodes of epilepsy before, and the doctor also prescribed some medication for us. But my wife isn't very clear about the dosage of epilepsy medication, so she gave my father two packs of the medication prescribed by the doctor. Hello, what is the standard dosage for epilepsy medication? Will this cause any accidents?Doctor's answer:
Generally, drug treatment is the foundation after a seizure episode. These medications typically have the effects of calming, preventing stillness, and controlling spasms. Therefore, the dosage is usually started with a small amount and taken orally. Later, as the condition improves, a reducing dose or combination therapy may be used as the basis. Currently, the patient may have taken an overdose of medication. It is recommended to closely monitor the patient's mental state. It is advised to take the patient to the hospital for blood tests to carefully check liver function, etc. If any abnormal conditions appear, blood pressure should be treated accordingly.
