Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have taken Eptoin medicine 8 years before. Now, I am fine and not taking any medicines. I got married before three months. Now, I am planning to have a baby. Will I face any fertility problem due to Eptoin? Can I get pregnant?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

As such Eptoin (Phenytoin) does not have any effect over the fertility profile of women and they conceive even while on Eptoin. You have stopped taking Eptoin eight years back and thus, there is no issue to worry.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
