A member asked:
How low can dilantin still be ok?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Therapeutic range: When Dilantin is used for epilepsy, we try to keep patients within a range between 10 and 20. Below 10, you might still have some benefit, but as the level drops down to 5 or below, unlikely, that your meds will be very protective. Wise to stay in therapy window.
