Important Information
Phenytoin should be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Blood levels, liver function, and blood cell counts may require monitoring because the appropriate dose can vary between individuals. Maintain good oral hygiene during treatment to help reduce the risk of gum overgrowth. Do not stop Phenytoin suddenly without medical advice, as this may increase the risk of seizures. Seek immediate medical attention for a severe skin rash, unusual bruising, or other serious symptoms.
