  • Epilepsy (control of focal seizures

  • Prevention of seizures after head injury or neurosurgery (as prescribed)

Benefits of Eptoin 100 Tablet

In Epilepsy
Eptoin steadies the electrical activity in the brain so that seizures happen less often or stop altogether. Taking it at the same time every day is what keeps you protected.
In Seizures
Eptoin raises the threshold at which a seizure can start, preventing fits and the injuries and loss of consciousness they cause.
In Bipolar disorder
Eptoin evens out the extreme highs and lows of bipolar disorder and helps prevent episodes coming back.
In Migraine prevention
Eptoin, taken daily, reduces the number and severity of migraine attacks.

How Eptoin 100 Tablet works

Phenytoin blocks voltage-gated sodium channels and stabilizes overactive neuronal membranes. This reduces abnormal electrical discharges that trigger seizures.

How to take Eptoin 100 Tablet

Take exactly as prescribed, preferably at the same time daily, with or without food. Swallow with water; do not stop suddenly. Regular blood level monitoring may be advised; maintain consistent brand and dosing schedule.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is almost due, skip the one you missed — never take two doses together to catch up.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine can cause deep unconsciousness, slowed breathing and dangerous heart rhythm disturbance. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.
