Acetoacetamide is a drug used to treat epilepsy. It controls epileptic seizures by regulating electrical signals in the brain. Acetoacetamide is commonly used to treat idiopathic epilepsy, especially petit mal seizures (convulsions) in children and adults. In Hong Kong, acetoacetamide is a prescription drug that requires a prescription from a doctor to purchase. When using acetoacetamide, patients should strictly follow their doctor's recommendations regarding dosage and frequency. Some side effects may occur, such as dizziness, nausea or stomach pain. If the symptoms are severe or persistent, please seek medical treatment in time. Also, it should not be mixed with other medications unless approved by your doctor. If you have any questions or concerns, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
Instructions for use: Please take the medication as directed by your physician. It is usually recommended to take it in divided doses daily, and taking it at a fixed time can help maintain stable blood concentration. Can be taken with food or on an empty stomach, depending on individual circumstances. During use, avoid eating grapefruit or mixing it with alcohol to avoid affecting the efficacy of the medicine. Activities requiring a high degree of concentration, such as driving a vehicle or operating machinery, should be avoided during use.
Dosing Guidelines: The usual starting dose for adults is 500 mg daily, taken in two divided doses. Based on individual response and physician recommendation, the dose may be adjusted to 1,000 mg daily. The starting dose for children is based on body weight, usually 15 mg/kg daily, taken in two divided doses. Dosage adjustments should be made under the guidance of a physician and should not be increased or decreased on your own. For elderly patients, the dose should be adjusted according to individual conditions and drug response should be closely observed. If at any time in doubt, consult a physician immediately.
