About Phenyfine-100 Tablet

Phenyfine-100 Tablet belongs to the group of medicines called 'anticonvulsants' used to treat epilepsy/seizures, and prevent seizures during/after brain surgery or after traumatic brain injury. Besides this, Phenyfine-100 Tablet may also be used to treat trigeminal neuralgia (facial nerve pain).

Phenyfine-100 Tablet contains 'Phenytoin sodium' which helps prevent neurons from working at a very fast speed, thereby preventing the brain cells from firing together rapidly in an uncontrolled way. As a result, Phenyfine-100 Tablet controls the overactivity of the brain cells that causes seizures.
