Phenytoin and phenobarbitone do not cause erectile dysfunction. You will have to visit an andrologist for correct approach, diagnosis and treatment of erectile dysfunction.

Health Query

My brother got a lack of oxygen during birth, which led to his mental disability, he is 12 years old now. He suffers from epileptic seizures too. He takes tegrital (carbamazepine) and phenotal 60 (phenobarbitone ). Phenotal is no longer available in our country and with taking other brands of the drug, his seizure attacks wasn't controlled, the serum level of phenobarbitone was 34.96 umol/l which is below the therapeutic range, so his doctor decided to switch his medication to epanutin (phenytoin sodium) so we stopped phenobarbitone gradually within 5 days and started to give him phenytoin. That was last month. He is tired and upset most of the time and he has sleep disturbances. He had tonsillitis in the last 2 days. Today we were in the car, suddenly his face paled and he closed his eyes and then keep closing and opening them, but he talked to me, I thought that his blood pressure went down because he didn't have breakfast. When we got home he didn't remember that we were in the car, is this a type of absence seizure? Is that related to phenytoin? Is it normal when starting using phenytoin? Thank you.

No the episode is not an absence seizure that has different features, but it may be related to his medicine intake and may have been drowsy. I suggest you keep amental note of the episode and continue with medication, in case it recurs you must visit your doctor as it may be a seizure (not necessarily absence) and he may have to be reviewed.

Asked for male, 1 years old from Delhi

My son 18 months old is having seizure since he was 1 month old. initially doctor gave him phenobarbitone. And after six months seizure free, he has a long seizure after which medicine was changed to levipil. He was seizure free for another six months but lately in last one month he has had three seizures. All his reports of eeg, mri, blood tests have been normal. We are a little confused about the situation. Should we consult elsewhere or continue with the ongoing treatment. Will he ever be seizure free?

Dr. Suresh Yadav90%(42 ratings)

Seizures reported early in life like before 1 year of age are long lasting and there are different types of epilepsy syndromes may be associated but maximum are benign type so don't be panic but continue the medicines and consult a pediatric neurologist as early as possible.
