Sudden Blackouts. Prescribed Lonazap. Should I Have A Child?
Hi Ms Pooja, Thank you for posting your query. You are suffering from epilepsy. This is a chronic condition, and it requires lifelong treatment in many cases. Levera (levetiracetam) is a very safe anti epileptic medication, and does not have any significant adverse effects. It is safe in pregnancy too. So, you can plan for a pregnancy while on levera. Please discuss these issues with your neurologist and gynaecologist. Best wishes, Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology) Senior Consultant Neurologist
