The total amount of money needed to cure epilepsy depends on what kind of drugs the patient chooses, what type of epilepsy it is, and how long it takes to treat. The most common type of primary epilepsy is treated with the most common sodium valproate, the original sodium valproate extended-release tablets, which cost about $70 a box and can be taken orally for 15 days, 3 boxes a month, and 24 boxes a year. It takes two and a half to three years for the epilepsy to be completely controlled before the drug can be gradually discontinued and reduced, so if we take three years as an example, we need 72 boxes, which is about 5,000 yuan, plus the cost of the patient’s review of head CT, EEG, blood tests and liver function during the treatment period.
