Intramuscular, Intravenous Tonic-clonic status epilepticus
Adult: 1.5 mg fosphenytoin is equivalent to 1 mg phenytoin Na, referred to as 1 mg phenytoin Na equivalents (PE). Doses are expressed as PE. IV benzodiazepine (e.g. diazepam or lorazepam) is given before administration: Loading: 15-20 mg/kg as a single dose by IV infusion at a rate of 100-150 mg/min. Maintenance: Initially, 4-5 mg/kg daily in 1-2 divided doses by IM inj or IV infusion at a rate of 50-100 mg/min; to be started at the next identified dosing interval. Subsequent doses are adjusted based on patient response and trough plasma-phenytoin levels. Elderly: Lower loading dose and/or infusion rate, and lower or less frequent maintenance dose. Child: For faster seizure control, IV diazepam or lorazepam may be given before administration. As PE: ≥5 years Loading: 15-20 mg/kg as a single dose by IV infusion at a rate of 2-3 mg/kg/min; max rate: 3 mg/kg/min or 150 mg/min (whichever is slower). Maintenance: Initially, 4-5 mg/kg daily in 1-4 divided doses by IV infusion at a rate of 1-2 mg/kg/min; max rate: 2 mg/kg/min or 100 mg/min (whichever is slower); to be started at the next identified dosing interval.

Pharmacogenomics:
Fosphenytoin is rapidly and completely metabolised to phenytoin by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) enzymes, forming a transient carbinolamine intermediate that spontaneously decomposes to phenytoin.
HLA-B is part of the class I human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes which encodes cell surface proteins that enables the immune system to distinguish self-proteins from foreign proteins. HLA-B*15:02-positive patients may have an increased risk of cutaneous adverse reactions in response to phenytoin therapy. Additionally, CYP2C9 is the enzyme responsible in metabolising phenytoin.
HLA-B*15:02
Patients with 1 or 2 copies of HLA-B*15:02 variant allele may have an increased risk of developing phenytoin-induced cutaneous adverse reactions such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN). HLA-B*15:02 has the most prevalence in East Asian and Central/South Asian population ranging from 1%->20% and patients with ancestry from North China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand, Malaysia and parts of the Philippines and India have the highest risk of developing phenytoin-induced SJS/TEN that is associated with this allele. Conversely, HLA-B*15:02 is less prevalent in the European population (0-1%) and was not detected in several sub-Saharan African populations.
Genetic testing for HLA-B*15:02 may be considered for those ancestries that have a prevalence of this allele. Avoid the use of fosphenytoin in patients who are HLA-B*15:02-positive; although patients who have previously used fosphenytoin or phenytoin for >3 months without the development of cutaneous reactions may consider using fosphenytoin with caution.
CYP2C9 CYP2C9 polymorphism may be associated with phenytoin pharmacokinetic variability. Genetic testing for CYP2C9 may be considered before initiating therapy.
Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) Guideline as of August 2020:

Usual loading dose then consider at least 50% reduction in the starting maintenance dose.

Description: Mechanism of Action: Fosphenytoin, a diphosphate ester salt of phenytoin, acts as a water-soluble prodrug of phenytoin. After administration, fosphenytoin is converted to phosphate, formaldehyde and phenytoin (as the active moiety) by the plasma esterases. Phenytoin stabilises neuronal membranes and decreases seizure activity by increasing efflux or decreasing influx of Na ions across cell membranes in the motor cortex during the generation of nerve impulses. Pharmacokinetics: Absorption: Bioavailability: 100% (IM). Time to peak plasma concentration: At the end of IV infusion; approx 30 minutes (IM). Distribution: Volume of distribution: 4.3-10.8 L (increases with dose and rate of administration). Plasma protein-binding: 95-99% (mainly to albumin). Metabolism: Rapidly and completely hydrolysed to phenytoin; phenytoin is metabolised into phosphate and formaldehyde. Excretion: Elimination half-life: Approx 15 minutes (IV); approx 30 minutes (IM).
