WARNING: CARDIOVASCULAR RISK ASSOCIATED WITH RAPID INFUSION The rate of intravenous Dilantin administration should not exceed 50 mg per minute in adults and 1-3 mg/kg/min (or 50 mg per minute, whichever is slower) in pediatric patients because of the risk of severe hypotension and cardiac arrhythmias. Careful cardiac monitoring is needed during and after administering intravenous Dilantin. Alth...

متن کاملProtection from digitalis toxicity with the prophylactic use of diphenylhydantoin sodium. An arrhythmic-inotropic dissociation.
Diphenylhydantoin sodium (Dilantin) given prophylactically increased the dose of digitalis necessary to produce toxicity by 72 to 224%. At constant heart rates, pretreatment with diphenylhydantoin sodium did not alter the elevation of rate of rise of left ventricular pressure produced by the glycoside. Two implications have been drawn from these findings. First, the inotropic and arrhythmic act...
متن کاملAdditivity of dilantin and vinblastine inhibitory effects on microtubule assembly.
Dilantin (phenytoin) is a commonly used antiepileptic agent that is known to decrease conductance of sodium and calcium ions and delay outward potassium currents. Separate from its antiseizure activity, dilantin interferes with microtubule protein polymerization. It induces metaphase arrest and potentiates the effects of the antimitotics vincristine and vinblastine in cell culture. We show here...
