A member asked:

Do ampicillin and cloxacillin help to reduce seizures?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Only with meningitis: These are two antibiotics and do not have a direct effect on seizures. However if the seizures are due to a bacterial infection of the brain they may be helpful by treating the infection.
