Dr. Zhang Ligong
This medication is an antiepileptic drug that effectively controls epileptic seizures and is formulated as a sustained-release preparation, providing longer-lasting effects. However, its efficacy varies among individuals. After starting the medication, patients should regularly visit the neurology department for follow-up visits and undergo relevant examinations to assess seizure control and determine whether dosage adjustments are necessary. Although epilepsy can be challenging to treat, it is not incurable. Maintaining a positive and optimistic mindset is essential.
