Ethotoin is an anticonvulsant drug used in the treatment of epilepsy. It is a hydantoin, similar to phenytoin. Ethotoin lacks phenytoin's side effects of gingival hyperplasia and hirsutism; however, it is less effective. This, combined with the need for frequent dosing has limited its usefulness. Ethotoin is no longer widely used.
