Medication:
Please bring a list or photo of all current medications taken by your child to appointments related to ketogenic dietary therapy, including the ingredients list or list of excipients if available.
Always check the ingredients of new medications (prescribed medications or medications available over the counter) whilst following a ketogenic diet. When a new medication is prescribed, confirm that the prescriber is aware that the medication needs to be suitable for the ketogenic diet. If you or the prescribing healthcare professional are unsure whether a medication can be taken alongside a ketogenic diet, contact the Ketogenic team via email or telephone on 01223 216655.
For further information, please see our website for guidance on low carbohydrate medications whilst on a ketogenic diet.

This is the electronic patient portal at Cambridge University Hospitals that enables patients, parents and/or guardians to securely access parts of their health record held within the hospital’s electronic patient record system (Epic). It is available via your home computer or mobile device.
More information is available on our website.
