Hello Doctors. I'm 35 year old and on medication for epilepsy from past 4 years. I'm taking oxetol 300 in the morning and 450 in the evening. I wanted to know if I can take Levox 300 which is from Lupin since Oxetol is more than double the price.

Just checked the cost..lovax is 6rs per tablet...oxetol is 10rs per tablet.. If your seizure control is good, switching brands can result in seizure recurrences...rest is your decision
