The elimination of phenytoin is a complex process, defying the simple categorization of many other medications. Answering the question, "Is phenytoin zero or first order?", is not straightforward, as this anticonvulsant exhibits dose-dependent, or non-linear, kinetics that transition between elimination orders based on plasma concentration.
