Should I Consult A Doctor Immediately As I Am Having A Seizure Like Episode?
My aunt has been taking Victoza for about about 6 months and she is at a full dose of 1.8mg.. She is in liver failure and has been since before the Victoza... she has a lot of the side effects but we not sure they are all cause from the Victoza... Tonight she had a seizure like episode... Should we contact her Dr. now or will she be ok through tonight and just contact tomorrow?
Hi and thanks for the query, It is necessary to get her consulted by a doctor. This is so because the full evaluation of this shall be done. In case of epilepsy, a proper characterization would be made to chose the most appropriate drug. If otherwise, the provoking agent of these seizures shall be identified and properly managed. An electroencephalogramme , to check the brain electrical activity could be useful at some point. thanks and kind regards
