Dilantin 125, Suspension LPD CC Technical change 08 May 2022 1 2022–0078210 DILANTIN ® 125 NAME OF THE MEDICINAL PRODUCT DILANTIN ® 125 QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION Each 5 ml of suspension contains 125 mg of phenytoin Excipients with known effect: For the full list of excipients, see section _Description (11)_ in this leaflet. PHARMACEUTICAL FORM Oral suspension . 1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS Dilantin (phenytoin) is indicated for the control of tonic-clonic (grand mal) and psychomotor (temporal lobe) seizures. Phenytoin serum level determinations may be necessary for optimal dosage adjustments (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION and CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY sections). 2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION FOR ORAL ADMINISTRATION ONLY; NOT FOR PARENTERAL USE Serum concentrations should be monitored and care should be taken when switching a patient from the sodium salt to the free acid form. The free acid form of phenytoin is used in Dilantin-125/5ml Suspension. Because there is approximately an 8% increase in drug content with the free acid form over that of the sodium salt, dosage adjustments and serum level monitoring may be necessary when switching from a product formulated with the free acid to a product formulated with the sodium salt and vice versa. GENERAL: Dosage should be individualized to provide maximum benefit. In some cases serum blood level determinations may be necessary for optimal dosage adjustments—the clinically effective serum level is usually 10–20 mcg/mL although some mild cases of tonic-clonic (grand mal) epilepsy may be controlled with lower serum levels of phenytoin. With recommended dosage, a period of seven to ten days may be required to achieve steady-state blood levels with phenytoin and changes in dosage (increase or decrease) should not be carried out at intervals shorter than seven to ten days. ADULT DOSE: Patients who have received no previous treatment may be started on one teaspoonful (5 mL) of Dilantin-125/5ml Suspension three times daily, and the dose is then adjusted to suit in Leggi il documento completo
