Hi my son has been on epilim 500 mg for seizures associated with a GBM . He also receives Avastin infusions every 3 weeks . Tumour is stable at Present but he has developed an itch rash on his body and acne like pimples which have not responded to antibiotics . Any ideas?
Hello! Thank you for your question on Chat Doctor! I understand your concern. I think that the rash may be caused by two main problems: an allergic reaction to Emilia or a hematological problem and low immunity caused by avast in. The first is the most possible. Aventine would typically cause red pinpoint on the skin or redness but not itchy rash. I would recommend having a valproate plasma level and a full blood work, liver function tests. I would also recommend switching to another anticonvulsant Chat Doctor.  Hope to have been of help! Greetings!
