Protoin 100 mg Tablet

Protoin 100 mg Tablet is a prescription antiepileptic medicine that contains 100 mg of phenytoin in each tablet. It belongs to the anti-convulsant class and is used to help control certain types of seizures. Protoin 100 mg Tablet may also be used by a doctor for preventing seizures during or after specific neurological situations, depending on the patient’s needs. Because phenytoin has a narrow therapeutic range, this medicine should be taken exactly as prescribed.

How it works: Phenytoin works by calming overactive electrical activity in the brain, which helps reduce the chance of seizures starting and spreading. In tablet form, Protoin 100 mg Tablet delivers phenytoin orally so it can be absorbed into the bloodstream and used for ongoing seizure control.
