Is there any harm in taking ZHIXIANLING for a long time

summary

My uncle found out that he suffered from epilepsy a few years ago, so he has been taking medicine to control it. Some time ago, the medicine he took was replaced by ZHIXIANLING. The family were worried that taking too much medicine would hurt their body, so they asked me to go to the hospital to learn something about this medicine. Today, let me talk about the harm of taking ZHIXIANLING for a long time.

Is there any harm in taking ZHIXIANLING for a long time

First: the side effects of this drug are relatively small. It is recommended to take it according to the doctor's advice. It is not allowed to add, reduce or stop the drug without authorization, so as to avoid recurrence of the disease. Taking it for a long time will cause damage to liver and kidney function, cause mental retardation and affect growth and development. Experts suggest that we should go to the hospital to let experts find out the focus of epilepsy for you and find a treatment plan suitable for the patients themselves. There is no harm in taking ZHIXIANLING for a long time.

Second: if epilepsy is controlled, epilepsy drugs can be gradually reduced after one year. Long term use must check liver and kidney function. Any antiepileptic drugs will cause certain toxic and side effects, such as central nervous system symptoms, liver damage, hematopoietic system damage, etc. Many antiepileptic drugs can control epilepsy well by inhibiting the excitability of brain neurons, and long-term medication will lead to memory loss, slow response, liver and kidney damage, etc., which is also a palliative treatment.

Third: epilepsy is a chronic disease, which can be delayed for several years or even decades if it is not well controlled. Therefore, many epilepsy patients are pessimistic about whether the disease can be cured. It must be pointed out that the majority of epilepsy is better after treatment, but of course a few epilepsy is difficult to control and the prognosis is not ideal. Epilepsy patients should hold an optimistic attitude, establish the confidence to overcome the disease, and insist on long-term treatment Treatment, remission years longer and then stop the drug (at least 2 years).
