Dilantin
I think, mannitol and phenytoin
is dilantin an opiate
Drugs that decrease ADH levels include alcohol, beta-adrenergic agents, morphine antagonists, and phenytoin (Dilantin).
No, you do not need to fast before getting Dilantin (phenytoin) levels checked. It is generally recommended to have the blood test done at a consistent time, often just before a scheduled dose, to ensure accurate levels. Always follow your healthcare provider's specific instructions regarding testing and medications.
Fatigue is not a known (reported) side effect of Dilantin. But, insomnia is a known side effect. And, if you're suffering from insomnia, that in itself would cause fatigue. If you go to http://www.rxlist.com and look up "Dilantin" you can see the list of all the side effects. Another good source of information on Rx drugs is http://www.fda.gov.
I just heard from my neurologist that they do not like to prescribe Dilantin over long periods of time because it causes shrinkage of the cerebelleum. Anyone have something more detailed on this?
can you take dilantin and somas together
Drugs that may cause increased immunoglobulin levels include therapeutic gamma globulin, hydralazine, isoniazid, phenytoin (Dilantin), procainamide, oral contraceptives, methadone, steroids, and tetanus toxoid and antitoxin.
