Oxetol 450 Tablet

Overview

Oxetol 450 Tablet is a medication used to manage and prevent seizures in people with epilepsy. It does not cure epilepsy but helps control seizures when taken regularly.

This tablet can be taken alone or along with other prescribed medicines. Your healthcare provider will determine the appropriate dosage and schedule, which may be gradually adjusted to meet your needs. It can be taken with or without food, but maintaining a consistent daily timing ensures the best results. Full benefits may take a few weeks to appear. Consistent use is essential, as skipping doses can trigger seizures, and stopping abruptly can worsen the condition.

Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, dizziness, drowsiness, fatigue, unsteadiness, and low sodium levels in the blood. These effects are usually mild and improve as your body adjusts. Any persistent or troubling symptoms should be reported to your doctor. Skin rashes or redness should be addressed immediately as they may indicate a rare but serious reaction called Stevens-Johnson syndrome. Long-term treatment may also affect bone density and increase fracture risk. Some individuals may experience mood changes, including thoughts of self-harm, which should be promptly discussed with a healthcare professional.

Before using Oxetol 450 Tablet, inform your doctor if you have a history of heart, kidney, or liver problems, difficulty urinating, depression, or suicidal thoughts. Certain medications may interact with this drug, so provide a complete list of your current treatments. Pregnant women should only start or stop this medicine under medical guidance. Alcohol should be avoided as it can increase drowsiness and seizure risk. Periodic blood tests may be required to ensure the medication is safe and effective.
