Hello,
Epilim is a great medication for epilepsy. The dose that you have been taking is low. The new dose is alright, as long as it maintains your seizures under control.
I would just recommend checking periodically every 3 to 6 months, liver function tests valproate plasma levels.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Aida Quka
