Drug Uses
Dilantin is indicated for handling of certain types of seizures. It may also be used for other conditions as recommended by your doctor.
How Taken
Use Dilantin as pre-scripted by your physician. To avoid stomach upset take Dilantin with a meal. Take each dose at the same time with respect to meals. Take Dilantin with a full glass of water unless pre-scripted otherwise. These tablets can either be chewed thoroughly before being swallowed or swallowed whole.
More Information
Dilantin may cause somnolence, 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, contact your therapeutist. Dilantin should be used only by the patient for whom it has been ordered. Do not take less or more or take it more often than ordered by your therapeutist.
