About Phenytoin
Phenytoin is an anticonvulsant medication belonging to the hydantoins class, primarily used for managing epilepsy and preventing seizures during or after brain surgery. It is effective in controlling generalized tonic-clonic seizures and partial seizures. Additionally, Phenytoin is utilized in treating trigeminal neuralgia, a condition characterized by severe facial pain. Its clinical relevance lies in stabilizing neuronal membranes and reducing seizure frequency. In summary, Phenytoin is crucial for seizure control and pain management in specific neurological conditions.
How It Works
Phenytoin works by blocking voltage-gated sodium channels, stabilizing the neuronal membrane, and preventing excessive neuronal firing, thereby controlling seizures.
