Introduction

Dilantin, characterized as an anticonvulsant, plays a significant role in diminishing nerve impulses within the brain and restoring normal growth. Its active ingredient, phenytoin, aids by slowing down impulses in the brain that cause seizures. Though reputed for its effectiveness, it can induce some side effects including dizziness, drowsiness, and nausea. It is advisable to abstain from activities demanding mental alertness such as driving when initial dosage commences. Importantly, abrupt discontinuation of the drug should be avoided as it may provoke an escalation in seizure frequency.

General Indications

Specifically indicated to control and prevent certain forms of seizures, Dilantin works by decreasing abnormal excitement in the brain. Its anticonvulsant properties are made effective through the stabilization of the neuronal membrane, preventing the spread of seizure activity.
