Epsolin ER 300 Tablet contains phenytoin (300 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Sodium Channel Stabilisation: Phenytoin stabilises the inactive state of voltage-gated sodium channels in nerve cells, preventing them from opening too frequently and causing abnormal electrical discharges.

• Reduction of Neuronal Excitability: By controlling sodium channel activity, phenytoin decreases the excitability of nerve cells in the brain, making them less likely to fire rapidly or abnormally.

• Prevention of Seizure Spread: The medicine blocks the spread of seizure activity from one area of the brain to another, helping to contain and stop seizures once they begin.

• Regulation of Calcium Movement: Phenytoin affects calcium channels and calcium-dependent processes within neurons, further contributing to its ability to control excessive electrical activity in the brain.
