Drug Uses
Dilantin is indicated for handling of certain types of seizures. It may also be used for other situations as determined by your doctor.
How Taken
Use Dilantin as ordered by your therapeutist. To avoid stomach upset take Dilantin with food intake. Take each dose at the same time with respect to meals. Take Dilantin with a full glass of clear water unless pre-scripted otherwise. These pills can either be chewed thoroughly before being swallowed or swallowed whole.
More Information
Dilantin may cause drowsiness, giddiness, or blurred vision. These effects can worsen if Dilantin is taken with alcohol or certain other medications. Use Dilantin with caution. Do not drive or perform other possibly dangerous tasks until you know how you respond to this medication. If your symptoms do not improve or if they worsen, consult your physician. Dilantin should be used only by the patient for whom it has been recommended. Do not take less or more or take it more often than ordered by your doctor.
