Dilantin (phenytoin sodium)is an antiepileptic drug which is used to treat patients experiencing grand mal seizures and temporal lobe seizures. Dilantin was approved by the FDA (food and drug administration) in 1953, it works by slowing down the impulses being sent to the brain but in recent years has been linked to a rare and deadly skin disease called Stevens Johnson Syndrome or SJS. In almost all cases SJS is caused by a reaction to a drug. Many different drugs and even alcohol and herbal remedies can increase or decrease Dilantin's effectiveness and may cause sever alergic reactions.
