phenytoin<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fenantoin RPH Pharma contains phenytoin which counteracts seizures and shortens seizures that occur by limiting the spread of irritation to the brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fenantoin RPH Pharma is used for epilepsy, in so-called generalized tonic-clonic epileptic seizures ( grand mal ), and for seizures where only parts of the brain are affected ( partial seizures ).
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using Fenantoin RPH Pharma.

Skin reactions, which may be life-threatening ( Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis ), have been reported with the use of Fenantoin. It can start as red-violet target-like or round spots with blistering in the middle, often symmetrically spread, on the torso.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additional signs to be aware of are sores in the mouth, throat, nose, genitals, or eye inflammation (red and swollen eyes).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The skin reactions, which can be life-threatening, are often followed by flu-like symptoms. The rash can develop into blisters over large areas of skin detachment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The risk of serious skin reactions is greatest during the first weeks of treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you have had Stevens-Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis while using Fenantoin, you must never use Fenantoin again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you get a rash or signs of these skin reactions, contact your doctor immediately and tell them you are taking this medicine. If you stop taking Fenantoin RPH Pharma too quickly, there is a risk of an increased number and possibly more severe seizures. If the medical treatment is to be terminated, it is therefore very important that the phasing out takes place slowly, often over the course of 3-12 months. However, never change your treatment yourself without consulting a doctor.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Those with hepatic or renal impairment should consult a physician before starting treatment with Fenantoin RPH Pharma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fenantoin RPH Pharma can in rare cases affect the white blood cells so that the defense against infection deteriorates. Therefore, contact your doctor if you get a sudden fever, sore throat, and\/or sore mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thorough cleaning of the teeth with fluoride toothpaste twice daily is essential to counteract swelling of the gums and tooth damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you get a rash, fever, joint pain, jaundice (whites of the eyes and skin turn yellow), enlarged lymph nodes, you should contact a doctor as soon as possible. This may be a sign of hypersensitivity syndrome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A small number of people who are treated with antiepileptic drugs such as phenytoin have also had thoughts of harming themselves or committing suicide. If you ever get these thoughts, contact your doctor immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
