Eptoin 100mg

dias365t again, With regard to Eptoin 100mg, I have now further found out from certain people,that Eptoin100 can also have side effects such as numbness in toes,and fingers too,when used for v.long periods.Yet, this drug becomes one of the best drugs to control Epilepsy.So if you feel these symptoms, please contact your Doctor soon,inform him, & he will definitely find you an alternative.Furthremore, thinning of fingers too have also been recorded,yet is it Eptoin only that should be blamed? is still a Question.Wish you all quick recovery.God bless you all. ## I took eptoin 100mg (twice for 3 years) and now taking 100mg once at night. Does eptoin causes hair fall? And what all are the side effects?

SGOT 197 SGPT 213 GGTP(kinetic) 91 Alpkaline Phosphate 130 Should I reduce or stop these medication. ## I am in India. I was asked to take these 2 after I suffered from fits immediately after my heart surgery in 1975. I have no fits for the last 16 years. Some suggested that I may not need these now as I have over come the fits. Recently I had echogram done for the heart along with specific blood test when the excess lever enzmes were deteted.
