Phenytoin can be taken with or without food, but taking it with a meal may help reduce gastrointestinal side effects. Consistency is key, so it's important to take it the same way each time, either always with food or always on an empty stomach. Always follow your healthcare provider's specific instructions regarding medication intake.
