Q. For how long do I need to take Etitop?
The dose and duration of this medicine will depend on your doctor’s advice. Etitop does not cure your condition (seizures/migraine) but prevents them from occurring. So, you may have to keep taking it for months or years depending on improvement in your symptoms and side effects that may occur.

Q. Is Etitop good for anxiety?
Etitop is not indicated for the treatment of anxiety. Please consult your doctor before taking the medicine.

Q. What are the serious side effects of Etitop?
Serious side effects of Etitop are rare. These serious effects of Etitop may include glaucoma (difficulty in seeing, eye pain and blurred vision), kidney stones (sharp pain in your sides or lower back) and metabolic acidosis (tiredness, loss of appetite, irregular and faint heartbeat). Other serious side effects of Etitop could be suicidal thoughts and insufficient sweating (some children taking Etitop may not sweat enough in hot weather, causing their body temperatures to rise).

Q. I am taking valproic acid for fits. Will Etitop interfere with the working of valproic acid? Can this combination be taken?
Etitop does not interfere with the working of valproic acid, but it increases the risk of getting increased levels of ammonia in blood (hyperammonemia). This can be dangerous. Excess levels of ammonia in blood may cause difficulty in thinking, remembering information, or solving problems. It may decrease your alertness and make you feel very sleepy with low energy. Tell your doctor immediately if you notice these symptoms. In rare cases, hyperammonemia may even occur because of Etitop alone.

Q. Can Etitop be used in children?
Yes, Etitop is used for seizures in children more than 2 years of age. However, because of the lack of any reports, this medicine is not recommended to be used in children for migraine.

Q. Since I have started using Etitop people are saying that I have lost weight. Is it because of Etitop or something else for which I should get investigated?
It could be due to Etitop because Etitop commonly causes weight loss probably due to decrease in appetite. If you still have any doubts, talk to your doctor who will advise you appropriately.
