The determination and validation of population pharmacokinetic parameters of phenytoin in adult epileptic patients in the Western Cape using nonlinear mixed-effects modelling

The pharmacokinetics of phenytoin is complicated by the nonlinearity of the dose-concentration relationship which is a consequence of capacity-limited metabolism. Individualized therapy with phenytoin is therefore optimally required. As no data are available on the population pharmacokinetics of phe...
