  • INDICATIONS

    Dilantin is used to control seizures. It is not made to treat all types of seizures, and your doctor will determine if it is the right medication for you. Dilantin is an anti-epileptic drug, also called an anticonvulsant. It works by slowing down impulses in the brain that cause seizures.

    INSTRUCTIONS

    Use Dilantin as directed by your doctor.

    • Do not take in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.
    • Do not crush, chew, break, or open a capsule. Swallow it whole. Breaking or opening the pill may cause too much of the drug to be released at one time.
    • To be sure Dilantin is helping your condition, your blood may need to be tested often. 
    • If you miss a dose of Dilantin, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.

    Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Dilantin.
