Question

What to Do When Epilepsy Patients Have Adverse Drug Reactions?

Answer

Since each patient’s tolerance to medication varies, many epilepsy patients may experience discomfort when taking antiepileptic drugs. This is a normal response. Once adverse reactions are detected, they should be taken seriously, and timely follow-up at a regular hospital should be arranged. A very small number of patients may experience drug hypersensitivity reactions, such as systemic rash, fever, shock, and other severe symptoms.
