Product’s Details:
- Fosolin (Fosphenytoin Sodium 150 mg/2 ml Injection) is an anticonvulsant medication used for the rapid control of seizures in epilepsy patients. It is particularly effective in managing status epilepticus (prolonged seizures) and in preventing or treating seizures during and after brain surgery. Its quick action and injectable form make it essential in emergency and critical care scenarios.
- Mechanism of Action: Fosphenytoin is a prodrug of phenytoin. After administration, it is converted to phenytoin in the body, which stabilizes neuronal membranes by reducing sodium influx, thereby preventing abnormal electrical activity that triggers seizures.
- Indications:
- Status epilepticus (prolonged seizures)
- Seizure prevention during neurosurgery
- Seizure management in epilepsy when oral therapy is not feasible
- Acute seizure episodes in hospital/ICU settings
-
Possible Side Effects:
