Dangerous Drugs - Trileptal
Trileptal is a medicine to treat partial seizures in adults. It is taken alone or with other seizure medicines. Taken with other seizure medicines, Trileptal is also used to help treat partial seizures in children 4-16 years old.
Trileptal can cause low levels of sodium in the blood. Signs of low levels of blood sodium include nausea, extreme drowsiness and discomfort, headache, confusion, or dullness, which can be dangerous. Trileptal can cause allergic reactions. If you have had an allergic reaction to other anti-seizure medicines, especially carbamazepine (Tegretol), tell your health care provider.
Some people taking Trileptal can get serious reactions, including:
- Dizziness
- Drowsiness
- Depression or abnormal thinking
- Difficulty concentrating
- Speech or language problems
- Difficulty with coordination and walking
Trileptal can cause drowsiness. Do not drive a car or operate complex machinery until you know how Trileptal affects you.
Do not drink alcohol while you are taking Trileptal. Alcohol can increase the side effects of Trileptal.
