My son has epilepsy and takes two epilepsy medications twice daily one being the generic form of epilim. Both of these medications contain saccharin, a sweetener that is now not used in food at all as its know to cause harm to health.
I'm really concerned about this but neither the pharmacy or the doctor can help me find out if there are other brands that don't contain this or other harmful sweeteners.
Does anyone have a child on epilim who could tell me what sweetener it contains?
My next step will be to contact the drug companies directly
