Abstract
|
|
|
In the 56 epileptic patients attending the neurologic department of SNUH in last one year, side effects of Dilantin were observed in relation to the duration of medication and the dosage of Dilantin. They had taken Dilantin as only anticonvulsant. Among side effects of Dilantin, gum hypertrophy and peripheral neuropathy tend to increase in relation to the duration of medication, but vertigo, dizziness and ataxia tend to be related to the dosage, although statistically not significant.
The related pathophysiologic mechanisms of the above side effect are briefly discussed.
