CPIC rec 8094796 [Strong]: For first dose, use typical initial or loading dose. For subsequent doses use approximately 50% less than typical maintenance dose. Subsequent doses should be adjusted according to therapeutic drug monitoring, response, and side effects. An HLA-B*15:02 negative test does not eliminate the risk of phenytoin-induced SJS/TEN, and patients should be carefully monitored according to a usual standard.

CPIC rec 8094795 [Moderate]: For first dose, use typical initial or loading dose. For subsequent doses, use approximately 25% less than typical maintenance dose. Subsequent doses should be adjusted according to therapeutic drug monitoring, response and side effects. An HLA-B*15:02 negative test does not eliminate the risk of phenytoin-induced SJS/TEN, and patients should be carefully monitored according to a usual standard.

CPIC rec 8094819 [Optional]: If the patient has previously used phenytoin continuously for longer than three months without incidence of cutaneous adverse reactions, cautiously consider use of phenytoin in the future. The latency period for drug-induced SJS/TEN is short with continuous dosing and adherence to therapy (4-28 days), and cases usually occur within three months of dosing.
