Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Seizure disorder: Stop taking the Ibuprofen. IF you are taking Keppra (levetiracetam) and Dilantin then it is likely that you have a seizure disorder. This makes the pregnancy high risk and it is important that you schedule an Obgyn evaluation promptly. Folate 4 mg daily should be taken.
