Medication Interactions
Medications for other conditions may interact with your seizure medication. Always tell your physician, pharmacist or dentist what other medications you are taking, including over-the-counter medications, vitamins, and herbal supplements.
Medication interactions may increase or decrease the effectiveness of seizure medications.
Some seizure medications can lessen the effectiveness of birth control pills. Your physician can talk to you about the best possible combination.
You should also be aware that drug interactions can take place with a variety of substances, including some food products, over the counter decongestants, products containing ASA, diet pills, and some herbal medications.
