Hi,
Thank you for your query.
You have done the right thing by calling up the doctor and leaving a message. It appears that there is some confusion either during prescribing or the dispensing stage and should be corrected. This medicine is basically to control convulsions.
I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.
Wishing you all the best.
