Zenoxa 150 Tablet 10

Zenoxa 150 Tablet is used in adults with epilepsy to control partial seizures, including those that spread to become generalised seizures, by controlling abnormal electrical activity in the brain.

Uses of Zenoxa 150 Tablet are:

• Partial Seizures: Helps control partial (focal) seizures, with or without secondary generalisation, in adults with epilepsy.

To take Zenoxa 150 Tablet correctly, follow these steps:

• Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.

• Do not crush or chew the tablet as this might affect how it works in your body.

• Remember, if you have any doubts about how to use Zenoxa 150 Tablet, don't hesitate to consult your doctor for advice. Always follow your doctor's instructions when using this medicine.

Zenoxa 150 Tablet is taken orally.

Zenoxa 150 Tablet contains Oxcarbazepine (150 mg), which has the following effects on the body:

• Blockade of Voltage-Sensitive Sodium Channels: Oxcarbazepine blocks the voltage-sensitive sodium channels in your neurons. These channels play a key role in generating the electrical activity in your brain that can lead to seizures.

• Stabilisation of Hyper-Excited Neural Membranes: By blocking these sodium channels, Oxcarbazepine stabilises the hyper-excited neural membranes in the brain. This helps to calm down the excessive electrical activity that can cause seizures.

• Inhibition of Repetitive Neuronal Firing: The action of Oxcarbazepine also inhibits the repetitive firing of neurons. This reduces the likelihood of a seizure being triggered.

• Diminution of Propagation of Synaptic Impulses: Lastly, Oxcarbazepine reduces the propagation of synaptic impulses, further suppressing the abnormal electrical activity in your brain that triggers seizures.

• Store Zenoxa 150 Tablet in a cool, dry place, ideally below 30°C.

• Protect the medicine from light and moisture to maintain its efficacy.

• Keep Zenoxa 150 Tablet out of reach of children to prevent accidental ingestion.

• Always check the expiry date on the package before use. Do not use if the medicine is past its expiry date.

• To help manage epilepsy, it's beneficial to follow a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins. This can contribute towards overall health and well-being.

• Regular physical exercise can improve general health and reduce stress levels, which can potentially trigger seizures. However, always ensure safety during activities to minimise the risk of injury should a seizure occur. Consult your doctor for suitable exercises.
