I Want To Know Whether Encorate Is A Medicine Of Epilepsy Or Not

After a strong diarrhoea and a severe fall in potassium and sodium level the patient had a few seizures. The patient was treated in a hospital in Jan. 2010 and was advised to take encorate along with various other medicines. At that time she didn't have any remarkable physical problems. But subsequently some sort of trembling has appeared and day by day the patient seems to become depressed. All the clinical tests done for the follow-up of the treatment however seems to be normal and what more is that the concerned doctors never advise any EEG. As lay persons we are really puzzled and in doubt whether the patient is going through the proper treatment. Kindly let us know the fact.i

It sounds like the seizures was probably brought on by severe dehydration. After such an occurrence, the person can be more prone to seizures, for awhile, due to the disruption of brain electrical activity and it is normal for the doctors to put them on a preventative medication for a period of time.

Encorate contains Valproic Acid, which is used as an anticonvulsant and a mood stabilizer.

Has she consulted a doctor? WIth those types of symptoms and knowing she's also taking other medications, it is very hard to say what's causing her problems and only a doctor will be able to help her get to the root of the problem.
