Vinlep 150 Tablet 10 contains oxcarbazepine (150 mg), which works on your body in the following ways:

• Sodium Channel Blocker: Oxcarbazepine works by blocking voltage-sensitive sodium channels in your brain. These channels are responsible for the transmission of electrical signals in your brain.
• Neural Membrane Stabiliser: By blocking these channels, oxcarbazepine stabilises the neural membranes in your brain. This means that it reduces the excessive electrical activity that can lead to seizures.
• Seizure Frequency Reducer: Oxcarbazepine inhibits repetitive neuronal firing and reduces synaptic impulse propagation, thereby controlling the spread of seizures and reducing their frequency and intensity.

• Keep Vinlep 150 Tablet 10 in its original package to protect it from light and moisture.

• Always keep this medicine out of the reach of children.

• For managing your seizures, try to maintain a balanced diet rich in vitamins, especially B6, which is believed to help control epilepsy. Foods like bananas, spinach, and sunflower seeds are high in vitamin B6.
• Regular exercise can aid in managing seizures by improving your overall health and reducing stress levels. However, ensure you choose safe activities and avoid those that might put you at risk if a seizure occurs, like swimming or climbing heights. Always consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regimen.
