Neofost 75 Mg Injection 2 Ml

Neofost Injection is used in emergency and surgical settings to manage severe, acute seizure disorders and prevent brain injury complications.

Uses of Neofost Injection are:

• Status Epilepticus: Controls continuous, life-threatening generalised tonic-clonic seizure activity.
• Neurosurgical Protection: Prevents and controls seizures occurring during or following neurosurgery.
• Post-Traumatic Seizures: Assists in managing acute seizures following severe head trauma.

Administer Neofost Injection as follows:

• This injection is administered by a healthcare professional.

• Ensure the area of injection is clean and prepared before administration.

• Upon opening the injection pack, use it immediately and discard any remaining portion.

• Always consult your doctor for specific advice on how to administer this medicine.

Neofost Injection is administered intravenously or via an intramuscular route.

Neofost Injection contains a single active ingredient, Fosphenytoin (75 mg). Here's how it works:

• Conversion to Phenytoin: Fosphenytoin is a pro-medicine, meaning it is converted into the active medicine, phenytoin, once inside the body.

• Stabilisation of Electrical Activity: Phenytoin works by stabilising the electrical activity in the brain. It does this by blocking the sodium channels on neurons, which reduces the influx of sodium ions, leading to an overproduction of repetitive action potentials.

• Seizure Prevention: By preventing the brain cells from firing rapidly and uncontrollably, phenytoin helps stop and prevent seizures, effectively managing the symptoms of conditions like status epilepticus and reducing seizure occurrence during and after neurosurgery.

• Store Neofost Injection at a steady temperature between 20°C and 25°C.

• Keep it shielded from light and avoid freezing.

• Once opened, use the injection immediately and discard any remaining content.

• To ensure safety, always keep this medicine out of the reach of children.

• Remember to administer the medicine before the expiry date mentioned on its packaging.

• For individuals managing seizures, aim for a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins and whole grains. These foods have essential vitamins and minerals that support overall brain health.

• Regular physical activity is beneficial but do consult your doctor about the types of exercises suitable for you. Some activities might trigger seizures in certain individuals. Always prioritise safety when engaging in physical exercise.
