Hi,
Regarding your concern, I agree with your doctor on the prescription of these drugs and their combination for generalized epilepsy (like Absence seizures, which can last some seconds and repeat for many times through the day).
Regarding the doses used, they should be based on the child's weight. Anyway, I recommend checking also valproate plasma levels, in order to see if he is taking the right dose.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
