In most cases, the retinitis pigmentosa is linked to a recessive gene, a gene that must be inherited from both parents in order to cause the disease. But we have to look into the details of the problem. Let's have a detailed discussion to ensure proper treatment.

Encorate is known to cause weight gain and pcod. The dose can be adjusted or the medication can be changed in consultation with a neurologist. But this depends on the seizure control. Please feel free to contact for further evaluation.

Hi, there are few centres where they work up refractory epilepsy cases. They basically do mri scans, video eegs and other tests to confirm the location of spread. It may be curable with a surgery life long if maximum dose of medications is not helping you.
Thanks.

Dr. Divya Goel93%(173 ratings)

DM- Neurology, MD Medicine, MBBS

Neurologist•Delhi

Valprol cr is a teratogenic medicine which can have adverse effects on fetus in 6-15% of cases.
In ideal situations, you should have consulted your neurologist before planning pregnancy to start you on a safer alternative.
I hope you have been taking folic acid supplements throughout your pregnancy. It has some protective effects on teratogenicity.
