Phenytin injections are primarily used to manage and control epileptic seizures. It is an anticonvulsant medication that works to calm irregular electrical activity within the brain. This medication is prescribed for patients suffering from certain types of epileptic seizures such as partial seizures or tonic-clonic seizures. It can also sometimes be used to prevent epileptic seizures resulting from head injuries or brain surgeries.
Phenytin may be used to treat other conditions such as pain associated with neuropathy. The medication works by inhibiting the abnormal activity of nerve signals in the brain and nervous system, which helps reduce the occurrence of seizures and improve the general neurological condition.
