Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
This study is being conducted to  asses the percentage change in seizure frequency in drug resistant epilepsy patients after alternative therapy of myoinositol/palcebo every month and to find effect of myoinositol on various biomarker in epilpetogenesis such as EEG evaluation ,HMIT cotransporter, PI3k biomarker , IGF-1 biomarker. To find out the effect of myoinositol in epilepsy.To find out the safety of myoinositol intervention through monthly assessment of safety monitoring  (ADR assessment ,Liverpool Adverse event profile ,DASS-21,BPAQ and quality of life index in epilepsy (QOLIE-10),seizure severity scale,duration of days with seizure freedom, liver and renal function test.Randomisation was done based on age,sex,seizure frequency, type of epilepsy.All patients are counselled for life style, including diet, not to change the regular diet habit during whole double blind study period. subjects are asked to avoid alcohol and smoking.
