The Dup15q Alliance is aware of the recent release by the FDA regarding Keppra, Keppra XR, Elepsia XR, Spritam (levetiracetam) and Onfi, Sympazan (clobazam) warning about the risk of Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS). This adverse event is rare and generally occurs 2-8 weeks after starting a medication. We urge anyone with concerns about their medications to discuss with their prescribing provider. The FDA recommends not stopping these medications without discussing with your health care provider, as stopping these medications suddenly can lead to uncontrolled seizures.
