Hello. My 3 year old has recently been diagnosed with generalised epilepsy and has been put on Epilim Crushable. He is super fussy with food and drink and just wondered if anyone out there can advise if there are any restrictions on the food you can mix this drug into? ie: hot v's cold, can i sprinkle it on his peanut butter toast? will it dissolve in his bedtime warm milk?

Any advise or experiences gratefully received, Thanks, Emma.

    Epilim also comes In liquid form in a medicine bottle, you could add it to his drink. sprinkling it on peanut butter would be ok because he's obviously not allergic to nuts. Hope this helps

      Thanks Karen. Do you have any experience of the liquid at all? My boy only drinks water so spots anything added a mile off!

      No I've not used it. but it's just like a medicine you take when you have a cold or a cough, couldn't you put it on his porridge or off a spoon? It's made for kids so it'll be flavoured.
