Encorate chrono can be taken in kidney disease provided it is controlling your seizures.
Else you can switch to a safer alternative like levetiracetam.

Im searching a best seizure medicine which has very low side effect and which do not effect to liver, kidney heart and others organs, my neuro doctor has offered me to choose one medicine from "phenytoin, carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, eslicarbazepine, sodium valporate, topiramate, levetiracetam, lamotrigine, diavalporex, phenobarbitone, currently i'm taking clobazam 12.5 mg and lacosamide 200 mg per day but nothing improvement. I feels suddenly extreme difficulty till 30 to 50 second, I always remain conscious at that time and can talk with anyone but that difficulty what I feels which is unable to express in words. My mri report show: ring shaped cortical/ subcortical lesion with eccentric dot and blooming on swi and calcification on phage image in the left hippocampal formation with minimal peripheral gliosis/edema. Findings represent calcified granuloma most likely related to neurocysticercosis. Other diagnostic consideration is tuberculosis. 2. Mild increased signal and volume loss of the left hippocampus as compared to right. Finding are suggestive of left mesial temporal sclerosis. Clinical correlation is suggested" while I do eeg test when normal condition always show normal eeg but when 30-50 second extreme difficulty happen during eeg show abnormal ieds: left anterior temporal and there are few sharp wave discharge starting from left anterior temporal region. Now according some above report which medicine is the best for me please suggest. I want to change medicine lacosamide and clobazam. Thank you.

Every medicine affects some organ systems. As they get metabolised or excreted or turn into active metabolite. Levetiracetam does not affect liver and is well tolerated but it does negatively affect kidney function.

Levetiracetam is pregnancy category b3. It is not linked to major birth defects. Also it does not put the unborn child’s cognitive or language development at risks according to latest studies. This is extremely encouraging for young women who are responsive to levetiracetam.
You may plan a pregnancy while on this drug without much anxiety.

Levetiracetam is supposed to be effective in controlling seizures during pregnancy and relatively free of teratogenic side effects. However, data on its efficacy and teratogenicity during pregnancy are limited
-women on antiepileptic drugs should receive counseling by neurophysician, regarding the risk of fetal abnormalities; folic acid supplementation is recommended.

Levipil (levetiracetam) is comparatively safer drug, broad spectrum anti epileptic drug. Only mild adverse events and safe to use when liver functions are deranged. During the switching period, you may get seizure as it may take a week or two for acquiring steady drug level in blood. Want to know the latest liver function test results and eeg results to opine about seizure recurrence.
