Dilantin has a NEW COLOR & NAME!

It is no longer Dilantin Kapseals any
more.

Gone is the white with orange middle
band. And the Kapseals is gone too.


DILANTIN - OLD & NEW

100-mg (clear) Kapseal -- Original to be discontinued
Capsules with an orange band

100-mg New look -- to replace Kapseal
Capsules half orange and half white



Medication alert – Why the new Dilantin® 100 mg. Capsules?
 
Whoa!....those look almost EXACTLY like my generic Zonegran!...

Anyone mixing those two needs to be careful!
:agree:
 
SP ~ You're right, it can be confused with
Zonisamide - a generic formula of Zonegran.
But also Zonisamide can be half green and
half white too as well as half purple and half
white or light blue and half purple or even
all white! (see below)

Zonisamide I think now has 11 or 12 different
productions now, and the formulas are so great
that some of them actually caused me to have
seizures and problems. Hence is why I'm on the
Formula Exemption and on Brand Name only of
Zonegran.



ZONGRAN

100-mg
White capsule with red cap, printed with company logo and "ZONEGRAN 100"

I am not able to find any other images
as they've been removed. They were
up before. You might be able to find
them in local Pharmacy Store or Library
under the Pharmacology / Drug Book
and under Zonisamide Images.

But Glenmark - which is from India, is
Green & White and is hideous!
 
I've been unable to swing the 'exemption' here...

...and Zonegran is TOO $$$$$$$$$$$$ for my piggybank!

When's Canada gonna be a viable option?
