Phalin 300 Mg Tablet 10 contains phenytoin (300 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Sodium Channel Blockade: Phenytoin blocks voltage-gated sodium channels on neurons in the brain, which prevents rapid and repetitive firing of nerve cells that can lead to seizures.

• Calcium Ion Regulation: It reduces the influx of calcium ions into neurons, which decreases their excitability and helps prevent the abnormal brain activity seen in epileptic seizures.

• GABA Enhancement: Phenytoin enhances the effect of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain that helps calm excessive neuronal activity.

• Neuronal Stabilisation: By acting on brain cells, it stabilises electrical impulses and reduces excessive neuronal firing, helping to maintain normal brain function.

• Do not use this medicine after the expiry date printed on the package.

• Maintain regular sleep patterns: Irregular sleep can trigger seizures in epilepsy. Try to sleep and wake up at consistent times each day to help reduce seizure frequency.
