Phenytoin is an anticonvulsant medication used to treat epilepsy, particularly for controlling tonic-clonic seizures and focal seizures. It works by stabilizing neuronal membranes through the inhibition of sodium channels, thereby preventing abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Phenytoin is commonly prescribed for both short-term and long-term seizure management. However, it has potential side effects, including gingival hyperplasia, dizziness, ataxia, and skin rashes. Regular monitoring of blood levels is necessary due to its narrow therapeutic window.
