Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

You are right – the issue is due to the ‘missing out this tablet”
This medicine is intended to prevent or treat the fits (seizures).
Stopping the drug will precipitate the fits – at times, worse than before!
It should be taken regularly / the dose is adjusted by the treating Neurologist.
If after reinstituting the drugs, the problem persists – he needs to see his doctor / adjustment of dose , addition of drug or investigation is warranted...

Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
