OXMAZETOL 450 TABLET 10 is taken orally.

OXMAZETOL 450 TABLET 10 contains oxcarbazepine (450 mg), which acts on your body in the following way:

• Sodium channel blocking: Oxcarbazepine works by blocking sodium channels in your brain. These channels are paths that allow electric charges to enter nerve cells. When these charges become excessive, they can cause seizures.

• Stabilizing neuronal activity: By blocking these sodium channels, oxcarbazepine helps stabilize the electrical activity of neurons. Neurons are nerve cells that transmit signals throughout your body.

• Prevention of seizures: This stabilization prevents the excessive firing of neurons, thereby reducing the likelihood of a seizure occurring.

• Keep your OXMAZETOL 450 TABLET 10 in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

• Store it at room temperature, ideally below 30°C.

• Make sure the medicine is kept out of sight and reach of children.

• Always check the expiry date before taking the tablet and do not use it if it has passed this date.

• Try to maintain a balanced diet with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. This can help support overall brain health and may assist in managing seizures.

• Regular, moderate exercise can also be beneficial. However, extreme physical exertion might trigger seizures for some individuals, so consult your doctor about the best exercise routine for you.
