What do Dilantin and Tegral commonly treat?

Internal bleeding
High blood pressure
Diabetes
Seizures

The correct answer is: Seizures

Dilantin (phenytoin) and Tegretol (carbamazepine) are both anticonvulsant medications primarily used to manage and treat seizures. These medications work by stabilizing electrical activity in the brain, which helps prevent recurrent seizures. They are often prescribed for various types of epilepsy and other seizure disorders. The other options correspond to different health issues. Internal bleeding typically requires emergent medical intervention rather than anticonvulsant treatment. High blood pressure is generally managed with antihypertensive medications, and diabetes is treated with insulin or other glycemic control medications. Thus, the effectiveness of Dilantin and Tegretol in controlling seizures makes the correct answer clear.
