They are both used to treat seizures and they are both valid treatments so it's not a question of one being right and the other wrong.
Levipil has fewer side effects, but if he's already taking Valparin without evident side effects and it is effective (hasn't had any seizures) then I don't really see a strong motive to switch therapy.
