Dilantin

Dilantin (Phenytoin Sodium) is an antiepileptic medication used to control seizures by slowing down impulses in the brain. It was developed in 1938 as the first modern antiepileptic drug and approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in 1953. Dilantin is prescribed to control grand mal seizures, where the individual experiences a sudden loss of consciousness immediately followed by generalized convulsions, and temporal lobe seizures, caused by disease in the cortex of the temporal lobe.

Possible side effects of dilantin can include:

Liver Damage
Rash
Hallucinations
Irregular Heartbeat
Decreased Blood Pressure
Increased Blood Sugar
Birth Defects
