The metabolism, mechanism of action, interactions with other drugs and side effects of diphenylhydantoin (DPH), which is probably the most commonly used antiepileptic drug are reviewed in the light of the recent literature. Some findings of practical importance are emphasized, and the resultant implications with regard to the management of epileptic patients are discussed.
