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
