Oxetol 150 Tablet

Product Introduction

Oxetol 150 Tablet is prescribed for managing and preventing epileptic seizures. While it does not cure epilepsy, it helps in controlling and reducing the occurrence of seizures as long as treatment is continued.

This medicine may be given alone or along with other drugs, depending on the patient’s condition. The dose is decided by the doctor and may be gradually increased to achieve the best results. It can be taken with or without meals, but it is important to take it at the same time every day. The effect usually takes a couple of weeks to become noticeable. For the best outcome, it must be used consistently and not stopped suddenly, as missing doses or abrupt discontinuation may worsen the condition and increase the risk of seizures.

Commonly observed side effects include nausea, vomiting, tiredness, dizziness, drowsiness, unsteady movements, and low sodium levels in the blood. These are usually mild and manageable, but if you notice persistent problems or a rash on the skin, inform your doctor immediately, as in rare cases it may develop into a severe reaction called Stevens-Johnson syndrome. Long-term use may affect bone strength and increase fracture risk. Like other anticonvulsants, this medicine can sometimes cause mood changes or suicidal thoughts, so any sudden shift in emotions should be reported to a healthcare professional.

This medicine may not suit everyone. Tell your doctor if you have any history of kidney or liver problems, heart conditions, depression, urinary difficulties, or suicidal thoughts. It may interact with several other medicines, so share your complete prescription list with your doctor. Pregnant women should not start or stop this treatment without medical advice. Alcohol use should be avoided, as it can increase side effects and may also raise the risk of seizures. Periodic blood tests may be needed before and during therapy to ensure correct dosage and monitor safety.
