Dear colleagues, I am not a neurologist but I just wanted to learn something.
I was doing a locum shift at a small rural hospital when somebody presented with a first episode self-limiting focal aware seizure after GBM resection + chemoradiotherapy several months ago. CTB showed stable findings c/f one a month ago. I loaded with Keppra 1.5g PO.
I was going to send them home on Keppra 750mg BD with outpatient follow-up. Neurologist was happy but also wanted a few days of 10mg BD clobazam too. Didn't explain his rationale. I admit I'm a little puzzled. Is this a common regimen?
