Should an adolescent be prescribed Vinlep or Proleva after suffering from brain attack?
Patient: My son (13 yrs , 37 kg weight) has attack on brain before week. We have gone thru MRI and other required test which are normal Out of opinion of two doctor s one has prescribed VINLEP 150 and other has prescribed TORLEVA(500 MG) WHICH ONE SHOULD PREFERRED ? Pl. guide as early as possible. Doctor: Hi. I'm so sorry to hear about your sons troubles. The first thing that i must try and understand before I can help you is what you mean by "Brain Attack". Some people use that term for Strokes and other people use that term for Seizures (Fits). Based on the medications you have mentioned here, I am going to assume you are speaking of a seizure.Both medications are good for the control of Seizures, though I prefer Torleva.When it comes to the management of seizure disorders, you must patiently wait and see which drugs work best for you. You might need to go through multiple combinations until you get to the one that works best. I hope this helps. Thanks for your question.
