Epilepsy/SeizuresEpilepsy/Seizures
In Epilepsy/Seizures Piplar Drop slows down electrical signals in the brain which cause seizures (fits).

The medicine can allow you to do some activities that you would otherwise be forbidden or scared to do (such as swimming and driving). It can take a few weeks for this medicine to work (because the dose has to be increased slowly) and during this time you may still have seizures. Do not stop using this medicine even if you feel well, until your doctor advises you to. Missing doses may trigger a seizure.In Epilepsy/Seizures Piplar Drop slows down electrical signals in the brain which cause seizures (fits).
