RE: [epilepsy] Re: Keppra



My daughter is 4 and I would break the pills in half and get her to drink as much as she could with a straw. She has been swallowing pills since she was 2. You just have to work with them.

Why not just get the liquid form & mix it in chocolate milk?
That's what I do for my 4 year old.  He gets a little treat every AM and PM that way  :)
 
Does the Keppra control her seizures?  Is it brand name or generic?
My son is on generic & is not controlled.

My daughter is Six and we crush her keppra. some pharmacists say not to crush it but others say it is fine. I tried liquid mixed with food and crushing and mixing with food, it works the same. I never noticed a difference. You could just send a pill crusher to camp. Patricia
