Phenytoin is an antiepileptic medication used to control seizures, particularly tonic-clonic and partial seizures. It works by stabilizing neuronal membranes and reducing their excitability.

The medication is administered orally or intravenously, as directed by a doctor, usually once to three times daily. It is important for patients to follow the treatment regimen and not abruptly discontinue the medication.

Patients should be aware of potential side effects, such as dizziness, drowsiness, or allergic reactions. It is important to inform the doctor of any unusual symptoms.

Common side effects include dizziness, drowsiness, and gastrointestinal disturbances. In rare cases, severe reactions such as liver toxicity or severe skin reactions may occur. Patients should be informed of these risks before use.
