INDICATIONS
AND CLINICAL USE
Phenytoin Sodium Injection USP is indicated for the control of
generalized tonic-clonic status

CONTRAINDICATIONS
Phenytoin is contraindicated:

other hydantoins.

In patients who have sinus bradycardia, sino-atrial block, second and
third degree AV block,
and Adams-Stokes syndrome.

In conjunction with delavirdine due to potential for loss of virologic
response and possible
resistance to delavirdine or to the class of non-nucleoside reverse
transcriptase inhibitors.

For intra-arterial administration in view of the high pH of the
preparation.
