ZEN Retard 200 Tablet ER

Product introduction
ZEN Retard 200 Tablet ER is a medicine used to manage epilepsy and prevent certain kinds of seizures. It is also prescribed to relieve pain caused by conditions such as trigeminal neuralgia (a painful disorder affecting the face, head, or neck) and nerve pain related to diabetes.

This medicine should be taken regularly, either with food or on an empty stomach, but ideally at the same time every day to maintain a consistent level in the body. The exact dose and frequency will be decided by your doctor and may be adjusted gradually for the best effect. Since this medicine can interact with many other drugs, inform your doctor about all other medications you are currently taking.

Taking this medicine consistently is very important. Do not stop it suddenly, even if you feel better, as this can lead to worsening of your condition or trigger seizures. Missing doses may also increase the risk of a seizure.

Some common side effects include nausea, vomiting, dizziness, drowsiness, tiredness, constipation, dry mouth, itching, balance issues, blurred vision, and slurred speech. Most of these are mild and go away as your body adjusts, but you should inform your doctor immediately if you notice a skin rash, mood changes, or thoughts of self-harm.

Before starting the medication, tell your doctor if you have liver or kidney problems, heart issues, difficulty urinating, or any mental health concerns such as depression. You may need to undergo blood tests like CBC before and during treatment to monitor your progress.
