Hello,
* As per my clinical experience, chronic consumption of certain anti epileptic medications do require change of molecule to avoid secondary ill effects over various body systems.
* In comparison with the ill effects of Eptoin, the Torleva is relatively safer molecule and can be started without hesitation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
