This was a retrospective case series of three patients who were taking a CYP3A4/5-inducing medication and loaded with ticagrelor for ACS.

It belongs to the category of medications with a limited therapeutic window and requires therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). PTH has been observed to induce a variety of Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) including ataxia, dystonia, nystagmus, dyskinesia, etc. Phenytoin-induced ataxia is an uncommonly observed ADR of Phenytoin whose reports are extremely limited. <b>Case:</b> Herein, we present a case report of a 16-year-old Asian patient with a past history of epilepsy that was admitted to a tertiary care hospital due to the development of ataxia, giddiness, and vomiting when taking Phenytoin in addition to Oxcarbazepine, Clobazam, and Levetiracetam to treat seizures. On admission, Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings revealed bilateral variable cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) lesions in the parieto-occipital region of the periventricular area (periventricular leukomalacia). Additionally, serum Phenytoin levels were observed to be in the toxic range (40 μg/mL) due to which physicians confirmed the ADR to be due to Phenytoin toxicity. Thus, the Phenytoin drug was discontinued in the patient gradually and he was continued on clobazam, oxcarbazepine, and brivaracetam which led to reversal of the ADR in the patient. <b>Conclusion:</b> In this case, ataxia resulted from Phenytoin overdose, as confirmed by MRI and serum tests suggesting that TDM of Phenytoin is essential to prevent ADRs. Given the scarcity of ataxia cases caused by Phenytoin, awareness is lacking within the scientific community.
