ajbritton Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Hi, I take Epanutin in the UK to control my epilepsy. I've read some other posts about epilepsy, prescriptions and costs (scary), but what I want to know is if Epanutin is available or if I might have to move to another drug. Changing drugs is risky for epilepsy sufferers so to be avoided if possible. Andy advice welcome. Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest AKA63029 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Hi matey. Good advice from Munch. Having a little knowledge of this it is available, but often under a different 'brand' name. Just make sure you consult a medical expert and you should be OK. Cheers Tony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajbritton Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 Thanks - the PBS link was useful. I can't see Epanutin listed, but Dilantin (an equivalent I believe) is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Generic name: Phenytoin is generically available everywhere and in most countries :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
