• Stabilises Hyperexcited Neural Membranes: This medicine stabilises the overactive neural membranes in your brain, preventing abnormal electrical activity.

• Inhibits Repetitive Neuronal Firing: Oxcarbazepine helps in reducing the repetitive firing of neurons, thus reducing the frequency of seizures.

• Reduces Synaptic Impulse Propagation: It also decreases the propagation of synaptic impulses, further helping in controlling seizures.
