Diphedan 100mg 10pcs
Phenytoin stabilizes neuronal membranes by modulating sodium ion movement during nerve impulse generation in the motor cortex. This mechanism:
- Anticonvulsant Effect: Reduces seizure activity by decreasing neuronal excitability.
- Antiarrhythmic Effect: Extends the refractory period and suppresses ventricular pacemaker automaticity, thus stabilizing cardiac rhythm.
