Eptoin needs to be taken regularly without fail. The question of how long is better left to the treating doctor, as the cause of the Convulsion is primarily known to him. Generally said that the antiepileptic drugs (Eptoin) should be continued for a seizure free interval of 5 years and then slowly withdrawn. however with keeping a watch for the Side effects. Folvite is only to make sure for the dietary loss of the folic acid created due to Eptoin dose. The cause of Convulsion could be metabolic in your dad's case since he is diabetic with renal compromise.
