title: Comparison of steady state phenytoin metabolism in alcoholic immediately after drinking ceases and three weeks later.
abstract: Chronic use of alcoholic beverages as found in American alcoholics changes the rate of phenytoin metabolism but the prevalence of this change is not known because too few patients have been studied and no observations exist on its persistence after drinking ceases. This study reports observations in four alcoholic patients.
