my son is 4.5yrs. old.he had febrile convulsion twice,one at the age of 7-8months other1.5yrs.my pediatrician started valprin 2.5ml bd as have done EEG.now after 3yrs of medication we started tapering the dose 2.5ml bd last month 1.5ml this month.i want to ask is it safeand are there any side effects related to it?what care we should take?
Valeryl is best for generalized convulsion. Febrile convulsion itself dent need treatment. If EEG change is persisted than valeryl is the best choice and tapper it down for next year. No significant side effect except gastritis.
