Hello,
The brain cancer patients are prone to development of convulsions and epileptic foci via various mechanics. Though Eptoin does not do anything on the cancer cells, it helps to prevent convulsive episodes via its actions on sodium channels.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
