Patient's question:

Always uncomfortable, feeling bad, can't sleep. Can patients with epilepsy take sodium valproate sustained-release tablets during lactation?

Doctor's answer:

During lactation, medication is generally not recommended to avoid side effects that may interfere with the child. It is advised to seek medical attention promptly, undergo a blood test, and take medication under the guidance of a doctor. Medication is used to control the condition, and surgical treatment is recommended. Post-surgery, it is important to prevent infection, enhance nutrition in the diet, and avoid spicy, stimulating, or greasy foods. Rest is also crucial. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
