Phenytoin

Phenytoin is a medication used primarily to prevent and control seizures by stabilizing electrical activity in the brain. It works by slowing down overly excitable nerve signals, reducing the likelihood of seizure episodes. Often prescribed for epilepsy, phenytoin requires careful dosing and regular monitoring, as it can have side effects and interact with other drugs. While effective, it’s important to follow a healthcare provider’s instructions to ensure safe and optimal use.
