Canine Epilepsy Medication Changes

Neurology

This question was submitted during a past webinar on the topic of Canine Epilepsy:

Question:
How long after a change in dosage do you wait to see if it is making an impact before making (another) change in dosage or duration of drug?

Answer provided by a subject matter expert panelist:
You should wait, at minimum, the amount of time that the drug takes to reach steady state concentrations (equilibrate) in the body. This time varies between drugs.
