Health Queries

She has had epilepsy for two years. Should Torpanel 2 Tablet be used for managing her seizures?

Dr. S Aneela

Dr. S Aneela

M. Pharm (Pharmacology)., PhD

Torpanel 2 Tablet contains perampanel, a medicine used to help control seizures in people with epilepsy. If she has had epilepsy for the last two years, her doctor may prescribe this medicine to reduce the number and severity of her seizures. The dose must be started low and increased slowly, exactly as advised by the doctor. Do not change the dose on your own. While taking this medicine, watch for side effects such as sleepiness, dizziness, unsteady walking, irritability, mood changes, or unusual behavior. If you notice anything concerning, contact the doctor right away. This medicine works best when taken regularly, at the same time each day, and without missing doses. Continue giving it even if the seizures improve, unless the doctor advises otherwise.

I'm taking sodium valproate, levetiracetam, and clobazam, but I'm still experiencing seizures weekly. Are there alternative treatments in Ayurveda?

Dr. S Aneela

Dr. S Aneela

M. Pharm (Pharmacology)., PhD

Ayurvedic treatments for epilepsy are outside my area of expertise, so I cannot recommend specific options. Since you are still experiencing seizures despite multiple medications, this may suggest intractable epilepsy. It is important to follow your neurologist?s guidance closely for your safety and long-term well-being.
