Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I have noted the symptoms of your child. Epilepsy can not be cured, however, with medications, it can be kept under control. Valprain (sodium valproate) is a safe and effective anti-epileptic medication, and can be used for long-term. Common side effects of Valarie include weight gain, tremors of hands and hair loss. In rare cases, liver damage may occur. Seizure-freedom for three years is good news. Please discuss with his neurologist regarding tapering and stopping medications. I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow-up queries or if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/
