Oxetol 300 Tablet

Product Introduction

Oxetol 300 Tablet is prescribed for the management and prevention of epileptic seizures. It does not cure epilepsy but helps in keeping seizures under control as long as the treatment continues.

This medicine may be used on its own or in combination with other drugs, depending on what the doctor advises. The dose is carefully decided and sometimes increased step by step to achieve the right effect. It can be taken with or without meals, but it is important to take it at the same time every day. The medicine may take a few weeks to show noticeable improvement, so patience and regular use are important. Stopping it suddenly or skipping doses can trigger seizures and may worsen the condition.

The most frequently seen side effects are nausea, vomiting, dizziness, tiredness, drowsiness, unsteady movement, and low sodium levels in the blood. Most of these are mild and manageable, but if they continue or become bothersome, the doctor should be informed. A rash or redness on the skin should never be ignored, as in rare cases it can turn into a serious reaction known as Stevens-Johnson syndrome. Prolonged use may sometimes weaken bones and increase fracture risk. Like many other medicines for seizures, this drug can occasionally affect mood or cause suicidal thoughts, so any sudden changes in emotions must be reported immediately.

This treatment may not be suitable for everyone. People with liver or kidney issues, heart problems, urinary difficulties, depression, or suicidal thoughts should share their history with their doctor before starting it. Other medicines may interfere with its action, so a complete list of ongoing medications must be shared with the healthcare provider. Pregnant women should not start or stop this medicine without medical advice. Alcohol use should be avoided as it can worsen drowsiness and may also increase the risk of seizures. Blood tests may be required before and during treatment to adjust the dose and check overall safety.

Benefits of Oxetol Tablet
