Benefits of Verocet Syrup

In Treatment of Epilepsy/Seizures

Verocet Syrup belongs to a group of medicines called anticonvulsants (or anti-epileptics). It works by slowing down electrical signals in the brain which cause seizures (fits). This medicine can be used to control various types of seizures—myoclonic, partial-onset, and primary generalized tonic-clonic (or grand mal). It can also help reduce symptoms such as confusion, uncontrollable jerking movements, loss of awareness, and fear or anxiety. The medicine can allow you to do some activities that you would otherwise be forbidden or scared to do (such as swimming and driving). It can take a few weeks for this medicine to work (because the dose has to be increased slowly) and during this time you may still have seizures. You should continue taking it even if you feel well and are not having any seizures. Missing doses may trigger a seizure. Do not stop using this medicine until your doctor advises you.

She has problem of epilepsy from last two years

Dr. Rahul Yadav

Paediatrics

Hello, epilepsy and seizures cannot be treated online without physically examining the child and detailed history.

The patient is suffering from primary progressive multiple sclerosis. It was diagnosed around 2007. Symptoms and current condition- Patient has difficulty in walking and uses aids like walker, minimal impact on cognitive abilities, is also suffering from 'fits' which are kept as bay by taking levereticetam tablets (verocet 250mg once a day) - if the tablet is discontinued even for a day or two - fit occurs. Taking verocet further worsens the symptoms of MS - to give an example ; last year around June the patient was taking 500mg x 2 tablets of verocet everyday, due to this he wasn't able to walk at all, couldn't sit for a long period of time, at times of physical exertion vision also became weak, minimal bladder control and high spasticity in muscles. Therefore we reduced the dose of Verocet and the condition has dramatically improved although MS symptoms are still very much there with lesser intensity. So we are stuck with verocet as a necessary evil. If the patient doesn't take it then fit occurs, if he takes it then symptoms are amplified. Is there a solution to this? Also would prefer to have advise on any treatment/therapy for MS?

Dr. Jyoti Kapoor Madan

Psychiatry

Epilepsy is a central nervous system disorder (neurological disorder) in which nerve cell activity in the brain becomes disrupted, causing seizures or periods of unusual behavior, sensations and sometimes loss of consciousness. Medicines for epilepsy are initially recommended for at least 3 years of seizure free interval but may continue longer depending on recurrence. Epileptic patient needs to carry a warning card or a medical emergency bracelet with identification details, his/ her epilepsy status and what people can do if fit occurs in public place.
