Overview

Oxetol XR 300 Tablet is prescribed for managing and preventing epileptic seizures. While it cannot cure epilepsy, it helps control seizure episodes as long as it is taken consistently.

This medicine may be used alone or with other treatments, based on your doctor’s guidance. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose and frequency to effectively manage your condition, and the dose may be adjusted gradually. It can be taken with or without food, but maintaining a regular schedule each day is important to keep steady levels of the medicine in your system. Effects may take a few weeks to become noticeable. Regular use is essential, as missing doses can trigger seizures, and abruptly stopping the medication may worsen the condition.

Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, dizziness, fatigue, drowsiness, unsteadiness, and low sodium levels. These are generally mild and often resolve as your body adjusts. Notify your doctor if these effects persist or cause discomfort. Any signs of skin rash or redness should be reported immediately, as they may indicate a rare but serious condition called Stevens-Johnson syndrome. Long-term use can affect bone health, increasing the risk of fractures. Some patients may experience mood changes, including thoughts of self-harm, so any unusual changes in mood should be reported promptly.

Before taking this medicine, inform your doctor about any history of heart, kidney, or liver problems, urinary difficulties, depression, or suicidal thoughts. It may interact with other medications, so provide a complete list of current medicines to your doctor. Pregnant women should not start or stop this medicine without medical advice. Alcohol should be avoided as it may increase drowsiness and seizure risk. Blood tests may be necessary before and during treatment to monitor the correct dose.
