What Causes Seizures Accompanied With Vomiting When On Tegrital?
my mother aged 83 has now been getting seizures accompanied with vomiting either before or after seizures, she has been in Tegrital CR 200 mg for more than 40 years for trigeminal neuralgia , she has been diagnosed with CP angle meningioma untreated, and recently taking nurokind plus for peripheral neuropathy what tablets can she be given for control of seizure kindly suggest. Thanks & Best Regards, N.Kannan India
* Long term intake of tegretal can be a cause of receptor desensitization which are controlling GABA and other neurotransmitters at the brain level, which affect the seizure threshold.
* She requires an alteration in antiepileptic drugs after discussion with her treating physician.
Vomiting needs tablet Ondansetron ( 4 mg ) to be taken on an empty stomach with sips of water 3 times a day.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
