Product Introduction
Zenoxa 150 Tablet is a medicine prescribed for the treatment and prevention of epilepsy (seizures). It helps in controlling seizures but does not cure epilepsy. The medication works effectively as long as you continue taking it regularly.
This tablet can be used on its own or along with other medicines, depending on your doctor’s advice. The dosage and duration are carefully decided by the doctor to suit your condition, and the dose may be gradually increased to achieve the desired results. It can be taken with or without food, but it is best to take it at the same time every day for consistent benefits. The medicine usually starts showing effects within a few weeks. It is important to continue taking it even if you feel well because stopping suddenly or missing doses can trigger seizures or worsen the condition.
Some common side effects of Zenoxa 150 Tablet may include nausea, vomiting, dizziness, tiredness, drowsiness, unsteady movements, or low sodium levels in the blood. Most side effects are mild and go away on their own. However, if you notice a persistent rash or redness, seek medical advice immediately, as it may indicate a serious reaction like Stevens-Johnson syndrome. Long-term use may increase the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. In rare cases, it can cause mood changes, depression, or suicidal thoughts, so inform your doctor if you notice any such symptoms.

Also, share details about other medicines you are taking to avoid harmful interactions. If you are pregnant or planning pregnancy, consult your doctor before starting or stopping this medicine.
