Same as dilantin: Dilantin (phenytoin) is an anti-epileptic drug, also called an anticonvulsant. It works by slowing down impulses in the brain that cause seizures. Dilantin is used to control seizures. It does not treat all types of seizures, and your doctor will determine if it is the right medication for you.
