Add this Phenytoin NCLEX mnemonic and other mnemonics with Pixorize to your NCLEX study plan.
Phenytoin is an anticonvulsant drug used to treat seizures. Phenytoin has a narrow therapeutic range of 10-20 mcg/mL. High doses of phenytoin above this cutoff can lead to symptoms of acute toxicity. These symptoms include ataxia, slurred speech, and nystagmus. The provider should be notified immediately if these symptoms are seen. Another expected side effect of phenytoin is gingival hyperplasia, so encourage your patients to practice good oral hygiene and visit the dentist regularly.

Overall great, but note to the creator that the voiceover person says milligrams instead of micrograms which is hugely different

Im in hospital right now for being in the 40 range so i developed accute toxicity my balance has gone and my vision is blurry and im slurring a bit. Its not too nice. I thank phenytoin for keeping me seizure free for 10 years but it has not been kind to my body. I now have to go without my meds for at least a day but im scared, my seizures im awake for and i suffocate for 3min or so until my brain stops from no oxygen, death looks not so bad in comparison

Speak to a neurologist a different one let them know you're concerned because it was happening to my grandma. She was admitted to the ER because she fell in the bathtub and hit her head so she was admitted to the ICU and had to get a transfusion of platelets. She was discharged after the 3rd day and fell again the next day so the neurosurgeon wanted to know why she was falling so much! I told them that ever since she's been taking the phenytoin it's been messing her up she loses her balance, leans when she walks, and her body becomes heavy and stiff.

Is there a USMLE version? I have a subscription but had to come to RU-vid to find info on Phenytoin - consider including this NCLEX version in USMLE subscription? It is better than nothing.

Great way to illustrate medication. BTW, my boyfriend took a combo of Phenytoin and primidone to treat his epilepsy. Could you do a video on Primidone? He had hair loss and had trouble finding his words, which became more noticeable when he was tired. He now takes Carbamazepine (your featured video), and the word seeking is much less.

How come Phenytoin is not part of USMLE subscription?

@backpackingwbekah Год назад

also incompatible with DEXTROSE

@katcook6462 2 года назад

Nclex usually test about dextrose compatibility which is a big no...

Maybe you forget VIT D and folic acid deficiency. Thx a lot.

@brigham1465 Год назад

Why isn't this drug included in the USMLE section with the rest of the antiepileptics?
