Hello,
Eptoin is a brand name of anti-seizure drug phosphenytoin. It is a relatively safer drug side effects are very minimal when compared to other neurological drugs.
In the long run, it may cause dizziness and sedation but life-threatening complications are rare. As of now, you can continue Eptoin and no need to substitute the drug.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
