It also has better effect on secondary generalized tonic clonic seizures, but it can aggravate absence and myoclonic seizures.

After 3-4 weeks of treatment, the same effect can be maintained only by increasing the dose.

matters needing attention

We should take good care of the children's daily life, try to avoid all the factors that induce epilepsy in children, especially to reduce the fever caused by various infections. When children's body temperature exceeds 38 ℃, it is often easy to cause febrile convulsions, which induce children's seizures. However, intestinal infection and vomiting will cause a large amount of body fluid loss, water and electrolyte imbalance, and induce epilepsy in children. When children with high fever, we must actively seek medical treatment, take cooling measures.
