burkev,

The medication of Epanutin is not sold in the United States. According to a website I know about, it shows that the brand name of Epanutin is sold in the countries of Austria, Belgium, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Netherlands, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.

But here's something that should be rather helpful for you. The generic name of Epanutin is actually Phenytoin. The information about it starts on this website here...

In the United Satates, the brand name for Epanutin (Phenytoin) is called Dilantin. Here's the starter website for that medication... http://www.epilepsy.com/medications/b_dilantin_intro.html

Hope this help's you.
