My father had a fall and was given Dilantin during treatment, but now he is feeling fine. Should he continue this medicine, or can it be stopped?
Dilantin is usually given after a fall to prevent seizures, but it may not be needed long-term if there is no ongoing risk. Do not stop it suddenly, as this can cause problems, and continue it only as advised for now. Watch for any symptoms like confusion or unusual movements, and keep follow-up records ready. A doctor can review his condition and decide if it can be safely reduced or stopped.
