Phenytoin as an Alternative Treatment for Preeclampsia

Magnesium Sulfate is the preferred treatment for preeclampsia in the United States. Its use has been criticized because of the maternal, fetal, and neonatal side effects and its tocolytic action during labor. Phenytoin has been identified as an alternative for the treatment of preeclampsia and the prevention of eclampsia.
