Eptoin tablet is used to treat and prevent seizures in emergency situations where the seizures persist for a prolonged duration and do not subside. It is also employed to prevent seizures, commonly referred to as fits, during surgical procedures involving the brain. Eptoin contains phenytoin, which reduces abnormal electrical activity in the brain. This modulation of electrical signals helps control and manage seizures, providing relief to individuals experiencing these episodes.
