A member asked:
Can i continue dilantin while pregnant if it is the only thing that works for a seizure disorder?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes!: Use monotherapy with the agent most effective for your type of seizure per your neurologist. Try to avoid valproic acid; take Folic Acid at 5 mg daily throughout your reproductive life. Do not drive.
