LITHIUM AND PHENYTOIN
Lithium toxicity has been seen in patients concurrently treated with phenytoin. Note that symptoms of toxicity have developed even with lithium levels within the normal range.
The interaction is not well established. Patients taking lithium should be aware of the symptoms of lithium toxicity and told to immediately report them should they occur. This should be reinforced when they are given phenytoin.
