A member asked:
Will phenytoin (dilantin) 100 mg control grand mal seizures?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is possible: It is possible 100 mg dilantin could control grand mal seizures. For an adult, this dose is rather small, a more typical dose is 200 or 300 mg each day. However, the best dose is the lowest dose that prevents seizures.
