Description
Oxcarbazepine Tablets I.P. 300 mg
Oxcarbazepine Tablets are anticonvulsant or antiepileptic medications used primarily for the treatment of epilepsy and certain types of seizures. This formulation works by stabilizing hyper-excited nerve membranes, inhibiting repetitive neuronal firing, and reducing synaptic impulse transmission, which helps in controlling partial seizures and generalized tonic-clonic seizures.
Key Benefits of Oxcarbazepine Tablets I.P. 300 mg
- Effective in managing partial-onset seizures in adults and children.
- Helps in reducing the frequency and intensity of epileptic episodes.
- Offers better tolerability and fewer drug interactions compared to other anticonvulsants.
- Often used as monotherapy or as adjunctive therapy in epilepsy treatment.
How It Works:
Oxcarbazepine is a prodrug that gets converted in the body to its active metabolite, which blocks sodium channels, thereby preventing excessive electrical activity in the brain that causes seizures.
Dosage and Administration:
Dosage varies based on patient age, weight, and severity of condition. Always follow the dosage prescribed by a healthcare professional. It is usually taken orally with or without food.
