Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
You have a brain cancer, of size of 5cm, and your doctor advised to take eptoin tablets ,till you get the surgery.
For the people with the brain cancer, there is possibility of the seizures, frequently. So to prevent the the seizures eptoin is prescribed. And cyclobenzaprine is prescribed to have muscle relaxation, and relief of pain. Both can be used simultaneously there will be no problem.
You would not have the seizures, but in the EEG, the doctor would have found the stimulation waves.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
