Hi..

It is not safe during pregnancy.

Zeptol is an anticonvulsant commonly prescribed to treat seizures and painful nerve conditions like trigeminal neuralgia and diabetic neuropathy.

Its common side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, motor imbalance, and vomiting. It may cause allergic reaction, speech disturbance, blurring of the vision and dry mouth.

It can cause harmful effects on the growing unborn baby when taken during pregnancy.

Breastfeeding while taking this drug by itself does not appear to affect infant growth or development.

Hope I have answered your query.
Take care.
Best wishes.
