On that page in the center under " Topics at Health and Safety click medicine. Scan down that list to Consumer Drug Information. There is were I entered in the word Trilettel. I did not get a result so you may want to try and see if you get better results. I may not have it spelled right. Any how I bookmarked this page because there for a while they were changing Keri's meds quite often to try and find one that would not damage her liver. I would also be a little leary of being told the drug had " no side effects " . I mean, correct me if I am wrong, but don't ALL medicines have some sort of side effects? Maybe not bad side effects but side effects just the same. I was just thinking here but use the web site if you want and see what you think. I found it quite helpfull on some of the decisions we had to make for Keri. ===== -- A very thankfull mom of Keri Marie.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2001 Report Share Posted June 20, 2001 Has anyone out there ever hear of the new seizure drug "Trilettel"? Our doctor wants to start my daughter on it since she is still having seizures. He said Trilettel has no side affects and has a very high success rate for seizure control and it will not make her drowsy like Phenobarb. He told us to research it before we make our decision, so that's why I am asking this group, any response from any one would be great. I personally have never had responses on this list with my questions, hopefully someone has some mercy on me this time, because I really would like to know more about this drug. ...Thank-you Patty mom to Panda Bear (keto-kid since 9/99) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
