Will Altonil increase the risk of seizure? She had last episode of seizure in the year 2021

Hello there,
Atonil 5 mg is Levosulpiride which is a primarily a Prokinetic agent which works on the Dopamine receptor, which may cause some sedation but not a first line drug for Sleep Disorder.
According to sources, there’s a chance that this drug might lower the seizure threshold and can aggravate seizures in predisposed patients.
However, I would suggest you to consult with a Neurologist regarding this so that they can guide you and prescribe you a drug which’ll not interfere with the seizure disorder.
Hope she gets well soon.
