Question
I want only Rabbi Amram to decide, thank you. Our 12-year-old daughter takes Depalept syrup, which is very bitter. The question is whether she can take it with water or some juice, and in what quantity, and whether she needs to fast at all.
Answer
The response of our teacher, the Gaon, Rabbi Avraham Fried, shlita
Regarding the pills, they should be taken with a little bitter water.
Bitter water = water with tea bags without sugar.
Regarding the fast, it depends on whether there have been seizures in the last six months,
if there have been - she should eat and drink in small amounts. If not - she can start fasting.
