Brief Answer:
The normal level of phenytoin in blood is 10-20 µg/mL
Detailed Answer:
Hi
The normal level of phenytoin in blood is between 10-20 µg/mL
I agree with your doctor and would advise you to continue 4 tablets of eptoin in a day and 2 tablets of epilive 500 as your phenytoin level is low in blood
If you do not take the above drugs it will again cause fits
Once it comes in normal range you can stop the drugs with your doctors advise

Hi sir ,
As I was taking only epilan tablets since 20 years from 1985 - 2005 prescribed by some Dr,later I was then prescribed eptoin along with epilan in 2005 by other doctor and I took them for rest apx 10 years .During these years I do get fits/seizure rarely and after that I get weakness and little injury on tongue .So recently i got seizure and i visited Dr XXXXXXX XXXXXXX AIMS director neurologist he now after checking my medical reports(MRI etc) prescribed me to take 2 tab eptoin and 1 tablet epilive in morning and night a day and stopped my intake of epilan completely.
I want you to ask for my satisfaction
That is it fine to change from epilan to epilive along with eptoin because I was taking it for long time ?
It is told that epilan have bad side affects is it true ?
How will Epilive help in controlling fits ?
And due to weakning of bones due to these medicines dr have prescribed me gemcal so is it good?
And
I want list of medicines, salts or drugs not to take for other problems such as stomach infections , body aches etc.. because of my epilepsy problem and medicines I am taking to cure this .
Thankyou
