How Oxaquest 300 Tablet 10 Works?
Oxaquest 300 Tablet 10 contains oxcarbazepine (300 mg), which functions in the body as follows:
Voltage-sensitive sodium channel blockage: Oxcarbazepine blocks these channels, which are involved in nerve signal transmission. By doing so, it stabilises overexcited nerve membranes and reduces nerve impulse propagation.
Reducing neuronal firing: This medicine inhibits repetitive neuronal firing, thus preventing the abnormal electrical activity that leads to seizures.
Improving quality of life: By managing the frequency and severity of seizures, oxcarbazepine facilitates a more confident engagement in daily activities.
Safety Measures & Warnings
