dear sir, Since I am having a minor problem regarding epilepcy, I am taking tablets Like xenoxa400, Oleptol DT 400mg, and Zeptol CR 400mg for the past 9 nine years at different stages. I am taking tablets now Zeptol CR 400mg and Lobazam 10mg for the past of 5 years. Now I am going to get married. In connection with this will it be any problem doing sex with my wife or any other side effects regarding this tablet. My age is now 28. Please help me......

Hi,

Lobazam (clobazam) is very rarely associated erectile dysfunction; the most common side effect is drowsiness. Zeptol (carbamazepine) has been associated with decreased libido and erectile dysfunction since this drug can decrease the levels of free testosterone. Oleptol (oxcarbazepine) is not associated with erectile dysfunction. Male epilepsy patients who experience sexual dysfunction while taking carbamazepine can be switched to oxcarbazepine to reduce such side effects.

I suggest that you talk with your doctor about your concerns. Your doctor will decide whether it is appropriate to make adjustments to your epilepsy medication regimen.

Hope this helps answer your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care,

Dr. Aaron Shapiro
