Dilantin, Wine, and Birth Control

Fri, 02/23/2007 - 11:40
Hello, I've just been re-started on Dilantin. Here are my questions - 1. Is it bad to have a glass of wine with dinner while on Dilantin? I'm Italian and it's just one of those things that most of us do. It's the only (about six ounces) drink I have ever, just this one glass with dinner at night and I sometimes don't even finish it, but it makes dinner so much tastier and classier...(another Italian thing.) 2. What about Dilantin reducing effectiveness of the Depo-Provera shot? Lyra
