Patient's question:
I would like to ask, doctor, what's wrong with me? Can I take epilepsy medication while breastfeeding?Doctor's answer:
During lactation, it should be avoided to use antiepileptic drugs that are not recommended for breastfeeding. Antiepileptic drugs can have a certain impact on the child, as they can enter the child's body in very small amounts and affect the central nervous system. Generally, it is not advisable to breastfeed the child. If a seizure occurs during breastfeeding while taking medication, it is strictly prohibited to breastfeed the child. Typically, breastfeeding should be avoided for three days after stopping the medication.
