Phenytoin is contraindicated in those patients who are hypersensitive to phenytoin, or its inactive ingredients, or other hydantoins. Because of its effect on ventricular automaticity, phenytoin is contraindicated in sinus bradycardia, sino-atrial block, second and third degree A-V block, and in patients with Adams-Stokes syndrome.
Co-administration of phenytoin is contraindicated with delavirdine due to the potential for loss of virologic response and possible resistance to delavirdine or to the class of non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors.
