EPSOD 50 Tablet 60 contains Phenytoin (50 mg), which has the following effects on the body:

• Neuronal membrane stabilisation: Phenytoin stabilises the membranes of the neurons in the brain. This action helps reduce the abnormal electrical activity that leads to seizures.
• Reduction of seizure spread: By stabilising neuronal membranes, phenytoin effectively restricts the spread of seizure activity within the brain.
• Pain signal blockage: Phenytoin also blocks the transmission of pain signals across the nervous system. This action helps in reducing the symptoms of conditions like trigeminal neuralgia.
