fosphenytoin (Rx)

Status Epilepticus

Cerebyx, Sesquient, generic

Indicated for treatment of generalized tonic-clonic status epilepticus

Loading dose: 15-20 mg PE/kg IV at a rate of 100-150 mg PE/min, not to exceed 150 mg PE/min  

Owing to full antiepileptic effect of phenytoin is not immediate, other measures, including coadministration of an IV benzodiazepine, may be necessary for the control of status epilepticus

If seizures continues after administration, consider using other anticonvulsants and other appropriate measures

If IV access is unavailable, loading doses have been given by IM route

Nonemergent Seizures

Cerebyx, Sesquient, generic

Indicated for prevention and treatment of seizures occurring during neurosurgery

Also, indicated for short-term substitution for oral phenytoin; only when oral phenytoin administration is not possible

Loading dose: 10-20 mg PE/kg IV; not to exceed 150 mg PE/min

Maintenance dose: 4-6 mg PE/kg/day IV in divided doses IV, not to exceed 150 mg PE/min

Individualize subsequent maintenance doses by monitoring serum concentrations to achieve a target therapeutic concentration

Owing to risks of cardiac and local toxicity associated with IV administration, oral phenytoin should be used whenever possible

Dosage Modifications

Renal or renal impairment

• Patients with renal or hepatic disease, or in those with hypoalbuminemia may have an increase amount of unbound phenytoin (active metabolite); monitor phenytoin serum levels based on the unbound fraction
• After IV administration to patients with renal and/or hepatic disease, or hypoalbuminemia, fosphenytoin clearance to phenytoin may be increased without a similar increase in phenytoin clearance; may potentiate the frequency and severity of adverse events

Dosing Considerations

Use caution when administering owing to the risk of dosing errors

Phenytoin sodium equivalents (PE)

• Express dose, concentration, and infusion rate of fosphenytoin as phenytoin sodium equivalents (PE) when prescribing
• No need to perform molecular weight-based adjustments when converting between fosphenytoin and phenytoin sodium doses

Concentration of 50 mg PE/mL

• Do not confuse the concentration of fosphenytoin with the total amount of drug in the vial
• Errors, including fatal overdoses, have occurred when vial concentration (50 mg PE/mL) was misinterpreted to mean that the total content of the vial was 50 mg PE
• These errors have resulted in 2-10 fold overdoses since each of the vials actually contains a total of 100 mg PE (2-mL vial) or 500 mg PE (10-mL vial)
• Ensure appropriate volume is withdrawn from vial when preparing dose

Monitoring parameters

• Continually monitor electrocardiogram, blood pressure, and respiratory function
• Observe patient throughout period where maximal serum phenytoin concentrations occur (~10-20 min after infusion ended)
