I'm a registered nurse, and to help clear things
up, the recommended daily dose of Dilantin is 300mg a
day, with the maximum dosage of 600mg a day. The thing
to remember in Diantin is to monitor the serum blood
level. It should be between 10-20. If Diantin is given
while Lenny is being tube feed, the absorption of
Dilantin can be decreased. It should be taken on an empty
stomach. No food or tube feedings 1 hour before and 1 hour
after giving the medication. Make sure Lenny has a
serum Dilantin level, that is the only way to determine
the therapuetic dosage.
Our prayers go out to
Lenny and his family.....Sincerely...Barry
