Name

my son started taking alli. He has a seizure disorder and takes dilantin. He just went through a horrible experience of continuous seizures and had to go to the hospital, They did a blood test to see what his dilantin levels were and they were at 0. the doctors assumed that he had not been compliant with his medication regime. This is not true and I want to know If alli kept his body from absorbing this medication. Needless to say, he has stopped taking this drug. does anyone know about this possibility? and if so where is this information? THanks
