THE PRESENT STATUS OF DILANTIN THERAPY
Abstract
1. We believe that, at the present time, dilantin sodium is the most effective single preparation available in the treatment of the convulsive manifestations of epilepsy.
2. Although toxic manifestations are frequent and sometimes severe, careful clinical observation and laboratory studies will decrease their incidence and withdrawal of the drug or reduction in dosage will afford prompt relief.
3. The use of small doses of phenobarbital in combination with dilantin offers an additional possibility for the control of seizures when dilantin alone is insufficient to attain that end.
