Mylan Extended Phenytoin Sodium 100mg Capsules
Mylan Extended Phenytoin Sodium 100mg is a prescription antiepileptic drug (AED) used primarily to control tonic-clonic (grand mal) and psychomotor (temporal lobe) seizures. It is also used to prevent and treat seizures occurring during or following neurosurgery.
How it Works
As an "Extended Release" formulation, these capsules provide a slow and steady absorption of Phenytoin Sodium into the bloodstream. This helps maintain a consistent level of medication to prevent seizure activity throughout the day. It is bioequivalent to the well-known brand Epanutin (Viatris).
Usage and Dosage
Phenytoin has a narrow therapeutic index, meaning the dosage must be carefully managed by a healthcare professional. Do not switch between different brands or formulations (e.g., prompt vs. extended) without consulting your doctor or GoMed pharmacist, as it may affect seizure control.
