Drug Uses
Dilantin is indicated for treatment of certain types of seizures. It can also be used for other conditions as recommended by your doctor.
How Taken
Use Dilantin as ordered by your physician. 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.
Additional Information
Dilantin may cause dormancy, 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 react 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 recommended. Do not take less or more or take it more often than prescribed by your physician.
