Hi,
As you are going to use it as gel, it is safe to use. Except for few side effects like headache, nausea & dizziness.
I advice you to:
- Avoid smoking, alcohol
- Stop using it if you are allergic to the product
- If you are taking it orally, you need to check your blood sugar levels & seizure frequency is increased with oral tablet intake
- Report your doctor about your medical history of seizures.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Get well soon.
