I am a neurological patient, I take medication in the morning and evening. I feel fine. I want to fast this month of Ramadan. Would I have done wrong if I did?

Drugs used in neurology are drugs that should be paid attention to. The medicine you use every twelve hours in the morning and evening will have increased to fifteen hours with fasting these days. Be sure to ask your doctor if this period will affect you in terms of those drugs. Fast according to the doctor's answer. We have to be serious and scientific in health-related matters. Get well soon. May Allah grant you good health.
