Phenytoin Sodium is a potent K+ channel block. It also is a potent multi-channel blockers, blocking Na+ and Ca 2+ channels. It selectively blocks persistent INaP over shorter INaP actions and blocks high frequency repetitive firing of action potentials. Phenytoin Sodium is an anticonvulsant that is used to treat a wide variety of seizures. It is also an anti-arrhythmic and a muscle relaxant. The mechanism of therapeutic action is not clear, although several cellular actions have been described including effects on ion channels, active transport, and general membrane stabilization.
