Versitol Retard 400 Tablet 10 is used to manage epilepsy and various types of seizures in adults. It belongs to the class of medications known as anticonvulsants or antiepileptic medicines.

In addition to controlling seizures, this medicine is also used to manage trigeminal neuralgia, a condition that causes severe facial pain. It can also help with glossopharyngeal neuralgia, a rare condition causing throat and ear pain. In some cases, it may be prescribed for certain types of bipolar disorder when other treatments have not been effective.

Take this medicine exactly as directed by your doctor. It is important to inform your doctor about any pre-existing medical conditions such as heart disease, liver or kidney problems, or blood disorders before starting the medicine. If you experience any side effects while taking this medicine, notify your doctor immediately. Continue taking the medicine for the full duration prescribed by your doctor for optimal results.

Versitol Retard 400 Tablet 10 is used for the following:

Control of epileptic seizures
Management of trigeminal neuralgia
Treatment of glossopharyngeal neuralgia
Controlling certain types of nerve pain
Management of bipolar disorder symptoms
Prevention of seizure recurrence
Stabilisation of abnormal brain electrical activity
Reduction of facial nerve pain episodes
Managing throat and ear pain from nerve conditions

Follow these instructions while taking Versitol Retard 400 Tablet 10:

Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water.
Do not crush, break, or chew the tablet as it may affect how the medicine works.
You can take this medicine with or without food.

Versitol Retard 400 Tablet 10 may have the following common side effects:

Nausea
Dizziness
Drowsiness
Blurred vision
Constipation
Unsteady gait: This refers to difficulty walking steadily or maintaining balance while walking.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Versitol Retard 400 Tablet 10. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some ways to manage common side effects:

Nausea: Taking this medicine with food can help reduce feelings of sickness.
Drowsiness: Consider taking Versitol Retard 400 Tablet 10 at bedtime to minimize the impact of drowsiness on your daily activities.

Versitol Retard 400 Tablet 10 contains carbamazepine (400 mg), which works on the body as follows:

Stabilises nerve membranes: Carbamazepine reduces the abnormal electrical activity in your brain by blocking sodium channels in nerve cells, which helps prevent the rapid firing of nerve impulses that cause seizures.
Inhibits nerve signals: It decreases the transmission of pain signals along certain nerve pathways, particularly in the trigeminal nerve, which helps reduce the severe facial pain associated with trigeminal neuralgia.
Regulates brain chemistry: Carbamazepine helps maintain a balance of certain chemicals in your brain, which contributes to its effectiveness in managing both seizures and mood disorders like bipolar disorder.
Prevents seizure spread: It stops seizure activity from spreading to other parts of the brain, helping to limit the severity and duration of seizure episodes.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while taking Versitol Retard 400 Tablet 10 if you are pregnant. This medicine may potentially harm an unborn baby and could lead to birth defects. It should only be used during pregnancy if your doctor determines that the benefits clearly outweigh the risks.

Breastfeeding

Caution is advised while taking Versitol Retard 400 Tablet 10 if you are breastfeeding. This medicine can pass into breast milk and might cause drowsiness and skin reactions in nursing infants. Discuss with your doctor before using this medicine while breastfeeding.

Alcohol

You should avoid consuming alcohol while taking Versitol Retard 400 Tablet 10. Alcohol may increase drowsiness and dizziness caused by this medicine, making activities like driving more dangerous. It may also reduce the effectiveness of the medicine.

Liver

Caution is advised while taking Versitol Retard 400 Tablet 10 if you have liver problems. This medicine is processed by your liver and may affect liver function. If you have any history of liver disease, inform your doctor before starting this medicine.

Kidney

Caution is advised before using Versitol Retard 400 Tablet 10 if you have a history of any kidney problems. It is a good idea to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Using Machines & Driving

Take care while driving or operating machinery when using Versitol Retard 400 Tablet 10. This medicine may cause dizziness, drowsiness, and blurred vision, which could affect your ability to concentrate. Avoid these activities if you experience such side effects.

Allergy

Do not take Versitol Retard 400 Tablet 10 if you are allergic to carbamazepine or similar medicines. Tell your doctor about any previous allergic reactions to medicines. Serious skin rashes can occur, which might need immediate medical attention.

Children

Caution is advised while giving Versitol Retard 400 Tablet 10 to children. The dosage for children is different and must be carefully calculated by your doctor based on the child's weight and condition. Always follow your doctor's instructions precisely.

Older Patients

Older patients should take Versitol Retard 400 Tablet 10 under medical supervision as they may be more sensitive to its side effects. Your doctor might start with a lower dose and gradually increase it. Older patients might also have liver and kidney issues that require dosage adjustments.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Versitol Retard 400 Tablet 10 can interact with the following medicines:

Anticonvulsants: Other seizure medicines like phenytoin or valproic acid may decrease the effectiveness of carbamazepine or increase side effects when taken together.
Antibiotics: Medicines like erythromycin or doxycycline can increase carbamazepine levels in your blood, potentially leading to toxicity.
Antidepressants: When taken with certain mood medicines, Versitol Retard 400 Tablet 10 may reduce their effectiveness or increase side effects.
Blood thinners: Carbamazepine can reduce the effectiveness of warfarin, requiring closer monitoring of your blood clotting levels.
Thyroid medicines: This medicine may decrease the amount of thyroid medication in your body, affecting thyroid function.

Drug-Food Interactions

Versitol Retard 400 Tablet 10 can interact with certain foods:

Grapefruit and grapefruit juice: Grapefruit and grapefruit juice can increase carbamazepine levels in your blood. Avoid consuming grapefruit or its juice while taking this medicine as it may increase the risk of side effects.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Versitol Retard 400 Tablet 10 may interact with the following diseases:

Heart disease: This medicine may worsen existing heart conditions, especially if you have a history of heart rhythm problems.
Liver problems: Carbamazepine is processed by the liver and may cause additional strain in patients with liver disease.
Blood disorders: This medicine may worsen certain blood conditions like anaemia or increase the risk of developing blood cell abnormalities.

Missed Dose

If you forget to take Versitol Retard 400 Tablet 10, take it as soon as you remember. If it's nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Never take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
