Levepil and Fresium are being given to prevent seizures and should be able to control seizures in most situations. However, if a patient gets seizure despite being on these medications, an EEG would need to be done to monitor the type of seizures. Forcan is an antifungal - check with your doctor how long that needs to continue.
