OSCE QUESTION AND ANSWERS - GENERAL MEDICINE PRE-FINAL EXAMINATIONS

CASE DETAILS: https://rsubhiksha128.blogspot.com/2023/12/a-case-of-60-yr-old-female.html OSCE QUESTION AND ANSWER Q1) Discuss about therapeutic index of phenytoin. PHENYTOIN maintains a narrow therapeutic range of 10 to 20 mcg/ml .  Pharmacokinetics :  In therapeutic doses, phenytoin is absorbed entirely and reaches peak plasma concertation at 1.5 to 3 hours.  Distribution :  Phenytoin is usually 90% bound to plasma proteins (mostly albumin), and only its unbound form is pharmacologically active. The fraction of protein binding may be lower in neonates, pregnant patients, hypoalbuminemia, and uremia. It is distributed in all tissues and becomes firmly tissue-bound with a large volume of distribution.  Its levels are higher in the central nervous system as compared to the serum. Metabolism:   The hepatic P450 enzyme system metabolizes phenytoin (predominantly CYP2C9 and CYP 2C19) to inactive metabolites and is an inducer of CYP3A4, which accounts for many of its drug-drug interactions
