Epigold XR-300 Tablet contains oxcarbazepine (300 mg) and it works in the following ways:

• Blocks Voltage-sensitive Sodium Channels: Oxcarbazepine acts by blocking voltage-sensitive sodium channels in your brain. These channels play a crucial role in the communication between neurons in your brain.

• Stabilises Neural Membranes: By blocking these channels, oxcarbazepine helps to stabilise the membranes of neurons. This means it reduces their overactivity, which is often seen in conditions like epilepsy.

• Inhibits Neuronal Firing: Furthermore, oxcarbazepine helps to inhibit repetitive neuronal firing. This further aids in controlling the symptoms of epilepsy.

• Decreases Synaptic Impulses: Lastly, oxcarbazepine slows down the spread of synaptic impulses, which are the messages sent between neurons. This overall action helps to reduce the frequency and severity of partial-onset seizures.

• Store Epigold XR-300 Tablet at room temperature.

• Keep it in its original packaging to shield it from light and moisture.

• Place the container in an area inaccessible to children.

• Always check the expiry date before use and discard if past this date.

• Maintain a regular sleep pattern, as disrupted sleep can increase the frequency of seizures. Avoid late nights and ensure you get adequate rest.

• Stay hydrated to help manage potential side effects such as dizziness or nausea. Increase your water intake, especially during hot weather or while exercising.
