Alcohol may reduce the effects of phenytoin (Dilantin) by causing it to be excreted more rapidly. Since phenytoin is an anticonvulsant, and since chronic alcohol use often causes convulsions when the alcohol is withdrawn, there could theoretically be an increased danger of convulsions, especially during detox.

You should discuss this issue with your doctor, who may feel it necessary to adjust dosages accordingly.
