Vinlep

hi, our son has some blood in his stool. He is using Vinlep for his epilepsy. I read that blood in the stool sometimes happens as a side effect to Vinlep. Just how problematic could that be? Thank you!

Thanks for your query. Blood loss with stool is not a very common side effect of vinlep(oxcarbazepine). You need to notice the amount of bleeding and its frequency. Blood in stool in case of children may be due to many other causes and be assure that most of those are not so problematic. Do a complete blood count to exclude any blood disorder. And if the bleeding is severe, go to nearest physician. And do not withdraw vinlep abruptly without talking to your doctor. Thanks ...
