These medicines are often taken together with some care. Your doctor may change a dose, space them apart or check on you more often. Make sure your doctor and pharmacist know you take both.

What to do: Ask your doctor or pharmacist before using them together. Do not stop or change your epilepsy medicine on your own.

What do Major, Moderate and Minor mean?

The combination may need care: a different dose, taking them at different times, or extra check-ups.

Minor

Little or no effect is expected. Usually nothing needs to change.

Duplicate
