  4. Health Queries for Brivazen 100 Tablet 10's

  5. I am currently taking Sodium Valproate 1.5 g, Levetiracetam 1.5 g, and Clobazam 1 mg, but I still experience seizures almost every week. My MRI and EEG reports are normal, and my neurologist keeps increasing the medication doses during each visit. Are there any effective Ayurvedic treatments available for seizures if my current medications are not working?

Since your seizures are not responding to the current medications, it is important to consult your neurologist or an epilepsy specialist to reassess the diagnosis and treatment plan rather than switching to alternative therapies. There is no strong scientific evidence that Ayurvedic treatment can replace standard antiepileptic drugs, and abruptly stopping or switching them can worsen seizure control and increase the risk of serious complications. If desired, Ayurvedic therapy should be used only as supportive or adjunct care under the guidance of a qualified Ayurvedic physician, while continuing standard medical treatment.

  1. Understanding Your Current Treatment and Seizure Control

    • Your medications (Sodium Valproate, Levetiracetam, Clobazam) are standard for seizure management. Persistent seizures suggest a need for treatment reassessment.

  2. Considering Ayurvedic Treatments for Seizures

    • Ayurvedic options may include herbs and therapies. Consult a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner before starting any alternative treatments.

  3. Integrating Ayurvedic and Conventional Medicine Safely

    • Do not stop or alter prescribed medications without medical advice. Ayurvedic treatments can complement, not replace, conventional therapies.

  4. Next Steps and Specialist Consultation

    • Consult a neurologist or epilepsy specialist to reassess your treatment. They may suggest investigations or medication adjustments.
    • If interested in Ayurvedic therapies, seek a reputable specialist.

  5. Monitoring and Safety

    • Monitor seizure frequency and side effects. Maintain open communication with all healthcare providers about all treatments used.
