sir, My father had a fall and has subdural hematoma. As he is 80, due to brain shrinkage whatever gap is produced, the hematoma is adjusted within. No midline shift was there. He was hospitalized for 8 days. Now he is at home with Eptoin 100 three times a day. He does not have any complain but is drowsy  and when he takes eptoin has delayed speach. Should he continue Eptoin 100 tid or BID?
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Your question is very important, and I congratulate you for that. In fact, there is no need to give option (phenytoin) in an old person with subdural hematoma. Phenytoin is an anti-epileptic Chat Doctor. So, if your father has not had any seizures, then, option can be discontinued. I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow-up queries or if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health,
