How to master the correct way to take medication

  Epilepsy is a chronic disease that requires long-term continuous medication. Also, because patients with epilepsy may have some cognitive dysfunction and easily forget, they often cannot remember whether they have taken their medication or not, so it is recommended to ensure that medication is taken on time every day with the help of family members. If you can put the medication you need to take the next day after the last dose each day, so that you can check to see if you have missed any medication, to prevent irregularity in medication.  If a patient continues to have seizures while taking antiepileptic drugs and is always tired, tell your doctor and he or she will increase the dose or change the medication. If you want to reduce the dose, you should also do it slowly and avoid stopping the medication too quickly.  The first thing you should do is to take a standing position when you take the medicine orally, lying down will make the drug dissolve in the stomach and esophagus, which is harmful to the esophagus; 2. Otherwise, it is not conducive to drug absorption.  Patients should also ask the doctor about the specific medication, such as whether the medication should be taken before or after meals or during meals, and how many times a day the medication is taken and the dose. Do not pinch the child’s nose to feed the medication, otherwise the medication will easily choke into the trachea or bronchus, leading to coughing or aspiration pneumonia, or even suffocation.
