Hello
Thanks for using healthcare magic.com
If your father is diagnosed to be suffering from epilepsy he requires medications to control epilepsy and prevent further damage to the brain. Variety of medications are available for treatment of epilepsy. One can choose these medicines depending on the other co-morbidites in your father. Consult your Neurologist for initiation of the medications.
