I had a surgery for occipital meningioma 15 years ago. I was prescribed 200 mg Zeptol CR tad. Due periodic occurence of seizure, Dr gradually incresed it to 400 mg in the morning and 600 mg in the night to control occurence of seizure. I would like to know what are the side effects of 1000 mg of this medicine per day. I am 73 yrs of age and otherwise lead a normal life. How should I minimise the side effects if any. Thanks, R K Mathur 550 Kailash T0wer III, East of Kailash, New Delhi 110065 India
Hello, I would explain that 1000 mg of Septal is not a high dose. Anyway, I recommend checking carbamazepine blood plasma levels in order to be sure that this dose is not toxic for his body. You should know that this Chat Doctor.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
