Pheneturide

Pheneturide is a hydantoin derivative that is used as an anticonvulsant. It is most commonly used in the treatment of epilepsy, a neurological disorder that can cause recurrent seizures.

Pharmacology

Pheneturide, like other hydantoin derivatives, works by stabilizing the electrical activity in the brain. This helps to prevent the rapid and excessive firing of neurons that can lead to seizures.

Medical Uses

Pheneturide is primarily used in the treatment of epilepsy. It can be used alone or in combination with other anticonvulsant medications. It is also sometimes used in the treatment of neuropathic pain and bipolar disorder.

Side Effects

Common side effects of pheneturide include dizziness, drowsiness, and nausea. In rare cases, it can cause serious side effects such as skin rashes, liver problems, and blood disorders.
