Phenytoin intoxication in a clozapine-related prolonged seizure
J Emerg Med.
2008 Nov.
Abstract
Phenytoin is a first-line drug for the treatment of status epilepticus. We report a case of phenytoin intoxication after intravenous phenytoin loading in a patient with clozapine-related seizures. To our knowledge, this is the first description of phenytoin intoxication due to CYP2C9 inhibition by clozapine. This case report is important because it supports the use of a lower intravenous loading dose of phenytoin in patients with clozapine-related status epilepticus.
