In rare cases, more severe side effects like rash or liver problems can occur. Always consult a healthcare provider if you experience any unusual symptoms.

Phenytoin Sodium should be used with caution, especially in individuals with liver or kidney problems. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and administration instructions carefully. Do not stop taking the medication abruptly without consulting a healthcare provider. Always inform your healthcare provider about any other medications you are taking.
