What Are The Adverse Complications Of Seizures?
Dear Doctor, My Daughter is 7 yrs old and has shown seizure. EEG report supports this. Doctor has prescribed Macorate 200 twice a day. Since it is the first case in our family, we are a bit worried and would like to understand the side effects of this. I understand it might induce some dizziness. Will it affect studies? Can she continue her Karate Lessons?

Hello,
It is true that valproate (Macorate) use may result in adverse effects especially if used for a long time. Anyway, compared to seizures these possible adverse effects are acceptable.
It is very unlikely that there could be an affection of studies. She can also continue her karate lessons.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Erion Spaho, Neurologist, Surgical
