Active ingredients

The drug DILANTIN contains one active pharmaceutical ingredient (API):

1 Phenytoin UNII 6158TKW0C5 - PHENYTOIN

Phenytoin is effective in various animal models of generalised convulsive disorders, reasonably effective in models of partial seizures but relatively ineffective in models of myoclonic seizures. It appears to stabilise rather than raise the seizure threshold and prevents spread of seizure activity rather than abolish the primary focus of seizure discharge. Read about Phenytoin
