The FDA approved drug controls epileptic convulsions by slowing down impulses in the brain that cause seizures. However, the drug controls only some types of seizures.

What You Should Avoid While on Dilantin Phenytoin Treatment

Some substances affect the effectiveness of Dilantin Phenytoin. Taking stomach acid reducers alongside this medicine inhibits the absorption of Dilantin, which increases the occurrence of seizures. Avoid alcohol also since it causes side effects by raising the blood levels of the drug in your bloodstream.

If alcohol consumption causes reduction of Phenytoin in your blood, it will cause the occurrence of seizures. Combining alcohol and this medication could impair your reactions and thinking leading to exposure to risks if you drive or engage in any activity that requires mental alertness.
