L carnosine is safe for long term use. But review is needed periodically for liver kidney and blood cp to monitor side effects. For further assessment, detail history is needed.

Yes you continue till lockdown ends and revisit your neurologist again

Autism
One of the few clinical trials involving carnosine is a small study published in the Journal of Child Neurology in 2002.9 In it, 31 children with autistic spectrum disorders took either a carnosine supplement or a placebo every day for eight weeks. By the end of the treatment period, members of the carnosine group showed significantly greater improvements in certain measures of functioning, including behavior and communication. The study's authors note that carnosine may benefit children with autism by enhancing nervous-system function. Despite these promising results, no more recent research on carnosine and autism has been conducted

It's important to note that, other than for vegans and strict vegetarians, there are questions about the necessity of carnosine supplementation since simply eating a meal that includes animal- or fish-based protein will increase your level of carnosine (e.g., a three-ounce portion of beef contains around 300 milligrams of carnosine).

The efficacy of oral supplementation with carnosine is also an issue since most carnosine absorbed from the gut is destroyed in the bloodstream by enzymes called carnosinases.

The bottom line: It's too soon to recommend carnosine supplements as a standard treatment for any health problem. If you're considering the use of carnosine supplements for treatment of a condition, talk to your doctor before starting your supplement regimen. Self-treating with carnosine supplements and avoiding or delaying standard care may have serious consequences.

Possible Side Effects
While little is known about the safety of taking carnosine supplements, there's some concern that carnosine may disrupt your sleep. Since the health risks of carnosine supplements are unknown,
