Petril-MD 0.5 Tablet

Overview
Petril-MD 0.5 Tablet is a prescription medication designed to manage seizures associated with epilepsy as well as anxiety disorders. It works by calming overactive nerve cells in the brain, helping to restore balance and reduce excessive neural activity.

How to Take
This medicine can be taken with or without food, but it is important to take it at the same time every day to maintain consistent levels in the body. Follow the dosage and duration prescribed by your doctor carefully, as this medicine can be habit-forming. If you forget a dose, take it as soon as you remember, but continue your treatment as advised even if you start feeling better. Stopping the medication abruptly may increase seizure frequency and cause symptoms such as nausea, anxiety, flu-like feelings, or muscle pain.
