Hello, The dose of medication is decided according to the weight of the child. Usually minimum dose is started and slowly increased if required. The medication is enough only if it controls the seizures. Otherwise, it will have to be increased, or another medication will be added. Be in regular follow up with a neurologist, and he will guide you about the medications. Good luck.
