Dear doctor, my wife had gone through a brain surgery (aneurism/ coil inserted) in Aug 2016. Since then she is o.k. She was advised to take Levipil500 twice a day. In March 2017, she missed one tablet in afternoon and next day she had a seizure. Since then she is having Levipil 750 twice a day. Has she has to continue this medicine life long? Please advice.

She has to continue the tablet as long as she has the risk of seizure.

At least a period of 2-3 years of no seizures before it can be tapered. Its a small price for a successful surgery of such a disease and good health.
