Trileptal may be prescribed by itself to treat the problem in adults. It can also be used in combination with other seizure medications in adults and in children as young as four years old.

Most important fact about Trileptal
Trileptal can cause drowsiness, dizziness, and loss of coordination, which could impair your ability to drive a vehicle or operate dangerous machinery. Do not attempt hazardous activities until you know how the drug affects you.
How should you take Trileptal?
Take Trileptal exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Stopping Trileptal suddenly could cause an increase in the frequency of your seizures. Trileptal may be taken with or without food. Trileptal is available in tablets and an oral suspension, which can be used interchangeably. To administer a dose of the oral suspension, proceed as follows: 1. Shake the bottle well and remove the cap. 2. Push the plunger all the way down in the dosing syringe provided with the bottle. 3. With the bottle upright, push the syringe firmly into the plastic adapter on the neck of the bottle. 4. With the syringe in place, turn the bottle upside down. 5. Slowly pull the plunger out until a small amount of medicine enters the syringe. Push the plunger back in far enough to force out any large air bubbles trapped in the syringe. 6. Slowly pull the plunger out until the top edge of the black ring is level with the marker for the prescribed dose. 7. Turn the bottle upright and twist the syringe free from the plastic adapter. 8. Push the plunger to empty the syringe. The medicine can be dropped directly into the mouth or into a small glass of water. If using water, stir the medicine, then drink the entire glass. 9. Rinse the syringe with warm water and allow it to dry. Replace the cap on the bottle. --If you miss a dose...Take it as soon as you remember.
