Can Long Term Use Of Carnisure Cause Any Problem In Kids?

My son's age is 7 years now & he had few (4) fits two years back & he is taking "Carnisure" and "Encorate" for two years, as suggested by our doctor.

He didn’t get any fits during these two years but one of the doctor told us that "Carnisure"'s side effect includes Seizures

I spoke to my doctor & he is not giving any explanation but told me to continue "Carnisure". Kindly advise.
