abstract：:The elderly are the most rapidly growing segment of the population and the incidence of epilepsy is higher in the elderly than in any other age group. They have been subdivided into the "young old," 65-74 years, "middle old" 75-84 years, and the "old old," 85 years or older. But further subdivisions are needed: person...

abstract：:Phenytoin is metabolized to its parahydroxylated derivative by hepatic microsomal enzymes. This hydroxylation is a saturable process, that is, the rate of metabolism fails to increase in proportion to the serum concentration. This leads to a nonlinear relationship between the maintenance dose of the drug and the resul...
