Hello,

Zeptol should not be used in those with a history of bone marrow problems.

Use during pregnancy may cause harm to the baby. However, stopping it in pregnant women with seizures is not recommended. Its use during breastfeeding is not recommended.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Prabhash Verma, General & Family Physician
