Refractory Canine Epilepsy And Addition Of Drugs
Neurology
This question was submitted during a past webinar on the topic of Canine Epilepsy:
Question:
Regarding the addition of anti-seizure drugs in patients with refractory epilepsy - if a dog is refractory, do they still experience the side effects of the meds even if the seizure frequency doesn’t decrease?
Answer provided by a subject matter expert panelist:
Yes - the more drugs that are used the more side effects that we may see even if they do not decrease the seizures.
