CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
MECHANISM OF ACTION
Phenytoin is an antiepileptic drug which can be useful in the
treatment of epilepsy. The primary site of
action appears to be the _motor cortex_ where spread of seizure
activity is inhibited. Possibly by
promoting sodium efflux from neurons, phenytoin tends to _stabilize_
the threshold against
hyperexcitability caused by excessive stimulation or environmental
changes capable of reducing
membrane sodium gradient. This includes the reduction of post tetanic
potentiation at synapses. Loss of
post tetanic potentiation prevents cortical seizure foci from
