Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Trileptal (
Oxcarbazepine) is used alone or in combination with other medicines to control certain types of seizures in adults and children.
Its common side effects include headache,
dizziness, sedation, unsteady or abnormal gait, fatigue, tremor,
double vision, abnormal vision, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, and
indigestion.
In addition, weight gain is also an important common side effect of Trileptal.
Her treating doctor should be consulted for an alternate effective medicines to control her seizures or to make necessary dose reduction of Trileptal to prevent the weight gain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali
