AB  - Intentional  phenytoin  overdose  rarely  leads  to  death,  provided  adequate  supportive  care  is  administered.  Most  phenytoin-related  deaths  have  been  caused  by  rapid  IV  administration  and  hypersensitivity  reactions.  Phenytoin  toxicity  may  occur  after  single  acute  exposure,  and  also  may  occur  in  patients  chronically  using  phenytoin.  In  patients  using  phenytoin,  toxicity  occurs  after  lesser  ingestions  because  a  large  quantity  of  phenytoin  is  already  present  in  the  body.
