Hello
Your brother is taking these drugs for epilepsy .
Eptoin is phenytoin , currently he taking 2 in the morning while one in the evening with phenobarbital ( gardenal ).
Due to shortage he want to take only eptoin in the night ( 2 instead one because of gardenal ) .
If gardenal is not available your brother can take eptoin 2 in the morning and 2 in the evening without any complication and these tablet will serve purpose very nicely.
Good luck.
