Product Overview

This formulation contains Phenytoin Sodium, a hydantoin derivative anticonvulsant. The "Seizure Stopper" Specialist:

Mechanism: Phenytoin works by acting on the motor cortex of the brain, where it inhibits the spread of seizure activity. It does this by promoting sodium efflux from neurons, thereby stabilizing the threshold against hyperexcitability. It effectively "locks" voltage-gated sodium channels in their inactive state, preventing the repetitive firing of neurons.
Non-Sedative: Unlike phenobarbital, Phenytoin controls seizures without causing significant sedation or hypnosis in the therapeutic range.
Zero-Order Kinetics: Unique among drugs, Phenytoin follows "saturation kinetics." Once the liver enzymes are saturated, small increases in dose can lead to disproportionately large increases in blood levels, requiring careful monitoring.

Manufacturing Authority

Marketed and Distributed by Healthy Inc from WHO-GMP & ISO 9001:2015 certified units.

Bioavailability Issue: Phenytoin has poor water solubility and narrow therapeutic index. Switching brands can cause toxicity or breakthrough seizures. Our manufacturing process ensures strict batch-to-batch consistency in dissolution profiles to match innovator standards.
Alkalinity: Phenytoin Sodium is alkaline. We use specialized excipients to buffer the tablet and prevent gastric irritation.

Therapeutic Indications (Human Use)

Indicated for the control of seizure disorders:

Generalized Tonic-Clonic Seizures: (Grand Mal) Prevention and treatment.
Complex Partial Seizures: (Psychomotor, temporal lobe) Prevention and treatment.
Neurosurgery: Prevention and treatment of seizures occurring during or following neurosurgery.
Status Epilepticus: (Loading dose) Maintenance after IV control.

Dosage & Administration

Recommended Dosage (Strictly as per Neurologist):

Route: Oral.
Adults: Start with 100 mg three times daily. Adjust dose every 7–10 days based on plasma levels.
- Maintenance: Usually 300 mg to 400 mg daily.
Children: 5 mg/kg/day in 2 or 3 divided doses.
Administration: Take with food to reduce stomach upset. Swallow whole; do not crush extended-release forms.
Therapeutic Range: 10 to 20 mcg/mL. Levels >20 mcg/mL cause toxicity (nystagmus, ataxia).

Safety Warnings:

Gingival Hyperplasia: Overgrowth of gum tissue is a common side effect. Good dental hygiene is essential.
Teratogenicity: Can cause Fetal Hydantoin Syndrome (cleft lip/palate) if taken during pregnancy. Use with caution.
SJS/TEN: Risk of severe skin reactions, especially in Asian patients (HLA-B*1502).
Hirsutism: Excessive hair growth may occur, particularly in young patients.
Vitamin D Deficiency: Induces liver enzymes that degrade Vitamin D, leading to osteomalacia. Supplementation is advised.
