Can Sizers Be Handled In The Absence Of Eptoine ?
My mother was taking Eptoine 100 mg thrice a day along with levera 500 twice a day. Her recent eptoine level study reveals 28.3 level, my neurologist advised me to stop eptoine & added levera 250mg in afternoon also.
Requested you to guide me whether sizers can be handled in absence of Eptoine. She is also advised Frizium 5mg at night.

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Levera (levetiracetam) and Frisium (clobazam) are good and effective medications for controlling seizures. So, I am sure your mother's seizures would be well-controlled with these drugs.
If needed, the dose of lever can be increased to 3000 mg per day, given as 1500 mg two times daily.
Eptoin (phenytoin) has been stopped in your mother's case, as the level in the blood is in toxic range. High levels of eptoin can cause imbalance while walking, vision problems, etc.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
