Why phenytoin considered nonsedative antiepileptic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Phenytoin: Not sure what you mean. Phenytoin is not considered to be a sedative by definition. This stands for the fact it doesn't possess properties that inhibit the brain in such a way as to induce relaxation, drowsiness, somnolence, calming.
