Phenytoin Sodium (CAS: 630-93-3) is the sodium salt of phenytoin, a hydantoin derivative used primarily as an anticonvulsant. Produced via condensation of benzaldehyde with urea followed by alkylation and subsequent sodium salt formation, its molecular formula is C15H11N2NaO2.
Requires strict dosage monitoring due to narrow therapeutic index and potential hepatotoxicity. Store in cool, dry conditions away from light to prevent degradation. Handle with PPE to avoid skin contact and inhalation of dust.
