I have been taking Phenytoin tablets for the last two months. Why is this medication prescribed?

Asked by Female, 30 · 3 months ago

Phenytoin is an antiepileptic medication prescribed to control and prevent seizures in individuals with epilepsy by stabilizing abnormal electrical activity in the brain. When taken regularly under medical supervision, it helps reduce the frequency and severity of seizures. Your doctor may periodically monitor your blood levels and adjust the dose if needed to ensure safe and effective treatment.
