Epilex Chrono 300 Tablet CR

Product Overview

Epilex Chrono 300 Tablet CR is a combination medicine used to manage epilepsy, a condition characterized by repeated seizures or convulsions. This formulation helps stabilize abnormal brain activity, offering protection against seizure episodes by calming overactive nerve signals.

How It Works

This medicine combines two antiepileptic agents — Sodium Valproate and Valproic Acid — which work together to balance neurotransmitters in the brain. This results in reduced electrical disturbances that typically trigger seizures.

Usage Instructions

Take Epilex Chrono 300 Tablet CR with food, as directed by your healthcare provider. The dosage may be gradually increased over time to ensure maximum effectiveness. Even if you start feeling well, continue using the medication unless advised otherwise by your doctor. Abruptly stopping treatment may result in more frequent or severe seizures.

Benefits

This medication is effective in reducing the occurrence and intensity of seizures. By managing brain signals, it can help alleviate symptoms like confusion, jerking movements, temporary unawareness, and fear linked with seizures. With proper use, it enables patients to regain control of their daily lives, including participating in activities that may have previously been unsafe.

Common Side Effects

Most side effects are mild and tend to diminish as your body adjusts to the treatment. Some frequently reported ones include:

• Nausea

• Tremors

• Headache

• Vomiting

• Upper abdominal discomfort

• Possible liver-related changes (in rare cases)

If any side effect is persistent or concerning, contact your doctor for guidance.

Precautions

Before beginning treatment, inform your doctor if you have a history of liver or kidney conditions, meningitis, mental health issues, or suicidal thoughts. Also, disclose all medications you are currently taking, including hormonal contraceptives, as interactions may occur.

• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Use during pregnancy should be approached cautiously and only under medical supervision due to potential risks. While it is generally considered safe during breastfeeding, consultation with your doctor is essential.

• Driving and Operating Machinery: The medicine may cause drowsiness or dizziness. Avoid driving or using heavy machinery until you understand how it affects you.

• Alcohol Consumption: Alcohol can worsen certain side effects and should be avoided while taking this medication.
