Overview

Phenytoin works by calming the abnormal electrical activity in the brain that causes seizures. Because it must be dosed carefully, it is used under close medical supervision, often with blood-level checks to keep it in the right range. A doctor-prescribed medicine helping patients manage epilepsy. Confirm the active on the pack.
Active: Phenytoin sodium 100mg per capsule.
Directions for Use
This is a prescription medicine. Take only as directed by your doctor. Swallow the capsules with water, at the same time(s) each day, with or after food. Keep taking it regularly even when you feel well, and do not stop suddenly, as this can trigger seizures. Do not change brand or dose without advice, as small changes can affect blood levels. Attend your blood-test appointments so the dose can be kept in the safe range.
Phenytoin has a narrow safety range. Tell your doctor about unsteadiness, slurred speech, double vision, drowsiness or confusion, which can signal too high a level. It commonly causes gum overgrowth. Keep up good dental hygiene. Report any skin rash promptly, as rarely it can be serious. It interacts with many medicines (including the contraceptive pill, which may be less effective). Tell your doctor everything you take. Avoid in pregnancy unless essential and supervised. This product information is for general guidance only and does not replace professional medical advice.
