Product Introduction
Zenoxa OD 900 Tablet SR is a medicine prescribed for the treatment and prevention of epilepsy (seizures). While it cannot completely cure epilepsy, it is highly effective in managing and reducing the occurrence of seizures as long as it is taken regularly.
This medication can be used alone or in combination with other anti-epileptic medicines, depending on your condition and the recommendation of your doctor. The dosage and duration of treatment will be carefully decided by your healthcare provider, and in many cases, the dose is gradually increased for the best results. It can be taken with or without food, but it is important to take it at the same time each day for maximum benefit. The effects may take a few weeks to become noticeable. Do not stop taking this medicine suddenly, as it may cause seizures to worsen.
Some common side effects include dizziness, tiredness, drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, unsteadiness, and low sodium levels in the blood. These are usually mild and temporary. However, if you notice any skin rash or irritation, seek immediate medical attention, as this could be a sign of a serious reaction such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome. Prolonged use of this medicine can sometimes weaken bones, leading to osteoporosis or a higher risk of fractures. In rare cases, it may also cause mood changes or suicidal thoughts, so inform your doctor if you experience any unusual changes in behavior or mood.
Before starting this medication, let your doctor know if you have any history of kidney problems, liver issues, heart conditions, depression, or difficulty urinating. Certain other medicines may interact with Zenoxa OD 900 Tablet SR, so it is important to provide a full list of any medications or supplements you are currently taking. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before starting or stopping this medicine. Avoid alcohol while on this treatment, as it can increase drowsiness and raise the risk of seizures. Regular blood tests may be needed to monitor your response to the medication and adjust the dosage if necessary.

It can also help manage symptoms such as confusion, involuntary jerking movements, loss of consciousness, and anxiety related to seizures. It is not addictive but should never be stopped abruptly, as doing so could trigger a seizure episode.
