Arch Neurol 53:764-768, Wilder,B.J.,et al, 1996
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Both groups had similar types and frequencies of mild to moderate adverse events.Phosphenytoin was as well tolerated as intramuscular placebo at the injection site.Intramuscular fosphenytoin equimolar to a patient's oral phenytoin dose produced equal or greater plasma phenytoin concentrations. Dosing adjustments are not required when intramuscular fosphenytoin is temporarily substituted or oral phenytoin therapy is resumed.Intramuscular fosphenytoin is a safe and well-tolerated alternative to oral phenytoin when oral administration is not feasible.
