the medicine. To reduce adverse effects, take the first dose before going to
bed.
To get the most out of this drug,
take it on a daily basis. This medication works best when the amount of drugs

spaced intervals. If you take this drug three times a day to manage seizures,
do not wait more than 12 hours between doses or your seizures may worsen.

without first visiting your doctor. Some conditions may worsen if the medicine
is abruptly discontinued. Your dose may need to be reduced gradually.

magnesium may prevent this drug from being absorbed. If you are taking an
