Can an epilepsy patient take Ginette 35 tablet?
Patient: Respected doctor, I am an epilepsy patient and am taking encorate chrono 200 twice a day. Now i am advised to take Ginette 35 tablet as a measure for hormonal treatment. I would like to know whether i could take ginette 35 since i am an epilepsy patient. Doctor: Hi,  It is not advisable to take these two medications together. Taking Ginette-35 while on Encorate chrono-200 can cause loss of seizure control or symptoms such as tremors, poor muscle coordination, increased seizures, and changes in behavior.   It can also result in increased side effects of Cyproterone acetate one of the active drug present in Ginette-35.  Consult your doctor for a dose adjustment or special tests to safely take both medications.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Take care  Regards, Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
