Is it dangerous for an epilepsy patient to miss a medication once?

Hello, if you are taking anti-epileptic drugs, please do not miss the dose, in case of missing the dose due to some reason or temporary negligence, you should take appropriate measures to remedy it in time, otherwise it is easy to induce seizures and even status epilepticus. If it is a long time before the next dose, you should retake the full dose as soon as possible; If you are not sure that you have missed a dose, but only suspect, you can immediately refill half of the established dose. If you find that you miss a dose and are very close to the time of your next dose, you can take the next dose slightly earlier and make up for it in the middle of the next dose.

If you are convinced that you have missed a dose and it is a long time before your next dose, you should retake the full dose as soon as possible; If you are not sure that you have missed a dose, but only suspect, you can immediately refill half of the established dose. If you find that you are close to the next dose when you miss a dose, you can take the next dose slightly earlier and take it again in between the next doses, or take the two doses at once.

Reminder: Patients taking anti-epileptic drugs, do not miss the dose, in case of missing the dose due to some reason or a moment of negligence, take the above remedial measures as soon as possible, and also minimize the chance.

It's okay to do it once or twice, but it can't become a habit, it's very dangerous, you must remember to take medicine, otherwise there will be more and more seizures! Remember!

We must be cautious about taking medication for epilepsy, and there should be no intermittent periods, otherwise it is easy to cause the risk of status epilepticus or increased epileptic frequency. First of all, we must have a correct attitude towards the problem of taking medicine for epilepsy, don't think that without the supervision of a doctor, you won't take anti-epileptic drugs, and don't think that you don't need to take medicine after being discharged from the hospital.

If a person with epilepsy forgets to take a medication, the remedy depends on when the next medication is taken.

If you only take the medication once a day, you can make up for it as soon as possible on the same day if you notice that you forgot to take the medication. If you remember to take the medicine the day before when you should take it the next day, then you only need to take the medicine the next day, and you don't need to take two doses of the medicine at once.

If you take the medication 2-3 times a day, you need to adjust the time of taking the medication for the day. For example, if you usually take medicine once a day at breakfast and dinner, if you forget to take the medicine in the morning and you find out that you forgot to take it in the morning, then you can make up for the morning meal in time (e.g., make up at 10 a.m.), and then postpone the evening dose accordingly (e.g., take it again at 10 p.m.). If you forget to take it in the morning and don't notice it until the evening, you only need to take the medicine in the evening, and you don't need to take two doses of the medicine at once.
