Abstract:
Phenytoin is a commonly used antiepileptic drug prescribed for the management and prevention of epilepsy. Chronic uses of phenytoin can lead to gingival hyperplasia and other adverse effects. An 80 years old male patient was presented with gingival hyperplasia, difficulty in walking and giddiness, the patient had a history of seizure disorder 3 years back and was regularly on Tab. Phenytoin 100mg. Naranjo scale and WHO causality scale was used to assess the relationship between the drugs and the unwanted clinical events. This case emphasizes the importance of periodic therapeutic drug monitoring of phenytoin and the importance of maintenance of oral hygiene for the prevention of gingival hyperplasia and also alerts the physician about the toxic manifestation of phenytoin in patients on long term therapy.
