Uhura,
Have you told your Dr. about your headaches, etc?
He ought to know. My Dr. definitely perscribes the
brand name of Dilantin.
Is it possible to contact Teva and see either if
there is a difference or get it from them?
I don't use that med so I don't know the difference but
I know that your Dr. should know.
