Hi,

You are right Trileptal may have many side effects and interaction however we use it only if it benefits are more then risks.

If your child had more then one seizure then ts necessary to use the medicine as seizures are much worse then any drug. Generally, we use this drug and most people do not have any major adverse effect. We can always change it if anything was wrong.

There is no major interaction with the drugs you mentioned so no need to worry.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
