Prospective Randomized Study of Multidose Activated Charcoal in Supratherapeutic Phenytoin Serum Levels[NCT00823264]17 participants (Actual)Interventional2008-08-31Completed
[information is prepared from clinicaltrials.gov, extracted Sep-2024]

Trial Outcomes

Time of Elimination of Phenytoin in Patients With Elevated Phenytoin Levels

We enrolled patients with elevated phenytoin levels into the study with greater than 30 ug/cc. The treatment arm received multiple doses of activated charcoal and the control arm received no activated charcoal. We obtained serum phenytoin levels every 6 hours for 24 hours then once every 24 hours. The time to reach a subtoxic level was determined in each arm by looking at serum phenytoin levels and documenting when it was below 25 ug/cc. (NCT00823264)
Timeframe: Serum phenytoin levels were obtained every 6 hours for 24 hours then once every 24 hours
