About TARO-PHENYTOIN
TARO-PHENYTOIN is a prescription medication containing the active ingredient phenytoin, used to treat and prevent seizures in patients with epilepsy. It belongs to a class of medications known as antiepileptic drugs.

- Control of tonic-clonic (grand mal) and complex partial (psychomotor, temporal lobe) seizures
- Adjunctive therapy in the treatment of seizures associated with primary generalized tonic-clonic epilepsy
Active Ingredient & Action
Phenytoin, the active ingredient in TARO-PHENYTOIN, works by reducing the excitability of brain cells and stabilizing the threshold against hyperexcitability caused by excessive stimulation. It achieves this by blocking voltage-gated sodium channels, which helps to prevent the spread of seizure activity.
Important Notes
It is essential to use TARO-PHENYTOIN exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not stop taking the medication without consulting your doctor, as this may lead to a return of seizures. Inform your doctor about any medical conditions you have, including liver or kidney disease, and any medications you are currently taking.
