Pexion starts to work within a few hours and reaches steady state within three days. So that means you will see full effect pretty soon. Keep in mind that Pexion has been introduced to the market and indicated only for idiopathic epilepsy so for other kind of causes efficacy can be variable. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
