Oxetol XR 600 Tablet contains oxcarbazepine (600 mg) and works in your body in the following ways:

• Blocks Voltage-Sensitive Sodium Channels: Oxcarbazepine acts by blocking sodium channels that respond to voltage changes. These channels play a crucial role in the transmission of electrical signals in your brain.

• 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.

• Keep the medicine in its original packaging, away from direct light and moisture.
