Oxetol 450 Tablet contains oxcarbazepine (450 mg), which acts on the body as follows:

• Voltage-Sensitive Sodium Channels Blockade: Oxcarbazepine works by blocking these channels found in your nerve cells. These channels play a vital role in the generation and conduction of electrical signals in the nervous system. By blocking these channels, oxcarbazepine helps stabilise overly excited nerve membranes.

• Inhibition of Neuronal Firing: Oxcarbazepine decreases the repetitive firing of nerve cells. Repetitive neuronal firing is a key factor contributing to seizures. By reducing this firing, the medicine aids in controlling seizure episodes.

• Diminution of Synaptic Impulse Propagation: This essentially means that oxcarbazepine reduces the spread of electrical signals from one nerve cell to another at synapses (the junctions where nerve cells meet). This action further assists in managing seizure activity.

• Keep the product protected from light and moisture to maintain its efficacy.

• Always keep this medicine out of the reach of children for safety reasons.

• Try to maintain a balanced diet. Some people with epilepsy may find that certain foods trigger seizures, so it might be beneficial to keep a food diary.

• Regular exercise can help manage your overall health and stress levels, which can impact seizure frequency. However, avoid activities that could be dangerous should a seizure occur, such as swimming alone. Always discuss your exercise routine with your doctor.
