Eslizen 400 Tablet contains eslicarbazepine (400 mg) and works on the body in the following ways:

• Inhibits Voltage-Gated Sodium Channels: Eslicarbazepine operates by blocking certain channels in your brain known as voltage-gated sodium channels. These channels play a significant role in regulating electrical activity within nerve cells.

• Reduces Neuronal Hyperexcitability: By inhibiting these channels, eslicarbazepine effectively reduces the electrical disturbance and hyperactivity of neurons. This action helps manage seizures.

• Potential Action on T-Type Calcium Channels: Eslicarbazepine may also affect another type of channel known as T-type calcium channels. Though not completely understood, this additional mechanism might contribute to its anticonvulsant properties.

• Store your Eslizen 400 Tablet at room temperature, ideally below 30°C.

• Keep it in a dry place, away from light and moisture.

• Keep the medication well out of reach of children at all times.

• Don't forget to use the medicine before its expiry date.

• If you're taking Eslizen 400 Tablet, maintaining a balanced diet can help manage your seizures. Include foods rich in Vitamin B6 like bananas and avocados, which are known to help nerve functions.
