| | ASAM Clinical Practice Guideline, Phenytoin and Withdrawal, 1997 |
 | | Blood levels of phenytoin, measured in 18 of the 66 study patients, ranged from 3-5.6 mcg/ml which is below the accepted therapeutic level of 10 mcg/ml; therefore, the therapeutic effect is unclear. | | | Recommendations for the role of phenytoin in the management of alcohol withdrawal for different classifications of patients were formulated based upon available research evidence and/or the consensus of expert clinicians. | | | It is difficult to draw any conclusion related to the efficacy of phenytoin from this study due to its retrospective nature, lack of controls, and marked variability in patients and medications used. |

| | Phenytoin in cutaneous medicine: Its uses, mechanisms and side effects |
| | Phenytoin seems promising in enhancing the healing of decubitus ulcers.[28] In a comparison involving 47 patients with stage II decubitus ulcers, treatment with phenytoin, DuoDerm® dressings or triple antibiotic ointment applications all resulted in reduction of the ulcers. | | | Phenytoin has been linked to drug-induced linear IgA bullous dermatosis.[131] It may be linked to the development of sarcoidosis,[132] specifically pulmonary sarcoidosis.[133] Thickening of the heel pad associated with long-term phenytoin therapy has been reported.[134] | | | About 50 percent of patients on long-term phenytoin therapy develop gingival hyperplasia. |

| | Six patients had cording with phenytoin; no cording was found with fosphenytoin (11). | | | Although no placebo-controlled trial has been performed to prove phenytoin anticonvulsant efficacy, extensive clinical experience has provided the basis for its acceptance as an antiepileptic agent. | | | However, the process of absorption appears to be the rate-limiting step in the attainment of therapeutic serum levels. |
