Is Epilepsy Curable?

my daughter has normal EEG and normal Brain MRI. It is done as she fell down with shivering her legs and hands while she was in the class. From the first instant, she feel down thee times conservatively and recently she sometimes is shivering and becoming unconscious. She is 20 years old. The doctor diagnosed it epilepsy and she will continue VALPRIN-300 for three years twice a day. Is it ok and cureable?

Hello

Yrs the drug is ok and has to be taken regularly for three years. The dose is 20-30mg/kg of bofy weight.

But no one can guarantee that seizure will not occur in future even after three years of medical treatment.

Thanks
