ANTIDIABETICS AND PHENYTOIN

Medical Diagnosis and Drugs, Medications
Large and toxic doses of phenytoin have been observed to cause hyperglycaemia, but normal therapeutic doses do not usually affect the control of diabetes. Two isolated cases of phenytoin toxicity have been attributed to the use of tolazamide or tolbutamide.
No interaction of clinical importance normally occurs and so no special precautions would seem to be necessary.
