Drug Uses
Dilantin is indicated for treatment of certain types of seizures. It may also be used for other situations as determined by your physician.
How Taken
Use Dilantin as directed by your doctor. 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 directed otherwise. These tablets can either be chewed thoroughly before being swallowed or swallowed whole.
More Information
Dilantin may cause dormancy, giddiness, 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, contact your therapeutist. Dilantin should be used only by the patient for whom it has been directed. Do not take less or more or take it more often than directed by your physician.
