Additional Information
Dilantin may cause dormancy, dizziness, or blurred vision. These effects may worsen if Dilantin is taken with alcohol or certain other medications. Use Dilantin with caution. Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks until you know how you respond to this medication. If your symptoms do not improve or if they worsen, consult your therapeutist.
