Risk of pregnancy with levipil medicine
Hi Madam/Sir
I am planning pregnancy. However, I was diagnosed with frontal cavernoma and had 3 times seizures on the same day. It was diagnosed on Feb 2018. I had to take levipil since then.
No seizures occurred until now, but as per neurologist I should continue with levipil 500 mg. Should I plan pregnancy while under this medication?
