My brother 20yes old, is a known case of epilepsy from past 12 yrs and is on regular medication. Initially it was GCTS type now converted to abscence seizures. He is taking Valproate 500mg and Oxicarbazepine (zenoxa) 600mg BD now. He is getting frequent attacks of absence seizures for which my doctor added another medicine Levetiracetam 250mg BD... But those attacks are keep on coming. He z having 10-15 attacks per day. Can it be cured? Please let me know doctor. Any Permanent treatment for this is there...? Please tell me...

The dose of medicines may have to be increased under care of a neurologist. He will also need an EEG
