Encorate Syrup 200 ml

Product introduction
Encorate Oral Solution is an antiepileptic medicine used to control and prevent seizures in patients with epilepsy. It helps stabilize electrical activity in the brain and prevents sudden mood changes, anxiety, and abnormal brain signals that trigger fits. It may also be prescribed for bipolar disorder, migraine prevention, and mania.

Encorate Oral Solution can be taken alone or with other medicines as advised by your doctor. The dose is usually started low and gradually increased until your condition stabilizes. It should be taken regularly, preferably with food, to avoid stomach upset. Do not stop taking it suddenly, even if you feel well, as this may cause seizures to recur or worsen.

Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, dizziness, headache, drowsiness, hair loss, and tremors. Some may experience changes in appetite, weight, or mood. These effects are often mild and temporary, but inform your doctor if they persist or become bothersome. Long-term use may affect bone strength, so regular monitoring is advised.

Before taking this medicine, inform your doctor if you have any liver, kidney, or mood-related conditions. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should use this medicine only under medical supervision, as it can affect the baby. Avoid alcohol and activities requiring mental alertness, such as driving, if you feel sleepy or dizzy after taking it.
