Effect of calcium content of diet on absorption of diphenylhydantoin. 1976

Y Herishanu, and U Eylath, and R Ilan

The effect produced by changes in the calcium content of the diet on the plasma concentration of diphenylhydantoin was studied. In subjects on a high calcium intake, plasma diphenylhydantoin levels were significantly lowered, probalby resulting from both the formation of an insoluble calcium-drug complex and the direct effect of calcium on the intestinal membrane. A similar but less pronounced effect was observed when calcium-rich foods were excluded from the diet. These observations indicate the need for a balanced calcium diet during diphenylhydantoin treatment.

D010672 Phenytoin An anticonvulsant that is used to treat a wide variety of seizures. It is also an anti-arrhythmic and a muscle relaxant. The mechanism of therapeutic action is not clear, although several cellular actions have been described including effects on ion channels, active transport, and general membrane stabilization. The mechanism of its muscle relaxant effect appears to involve a reduction in the sensitivity of muscle spindles to stretch. Phenytoin has been proposed for several other therapeutic uses, but its use has been limited by its many adverse effects and interactions with other drugs.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
