Zeptol 200 Tablet is taken orally.

Zeptol 200 Tablet contains carbamazepine (200 mg) and it works on the body in the following ways:

• Reduction of Polysynaptic Responses: Carbamazepine helps in reducing polysynaptic responses, which are multiple signals between nerve cells. This action aids in managing seizure activity.

• Blocking Post-Tetanic Potentiation: Carbamazepine can block post-tetanic potentiation, an increase in synaptic strength following high-frequency stimulation. The blocking action contributes to seizure control.

• Decreasing Abnormal Electrical Impulses: This medication decreases abnormal electrical impulses in the brain. By doing so, it helps control seizures.

• Pain Management: Carbamazepine has an analgesic effect which is useful in managing pain associated with conditions like trigeminal neuralgia. It's important to note that this pain-relieving action is separate from its anticonvulsant effect.

• Keep Zeptol 200 Tablet in a cool place where the temperature stays between 20-25°C.

• Always ensure it's kept away from light and moisture.

• Don't forget to keep it out of reach and sight of children.

• It's essential to use this medicine before the expiry date on the packaging.

• If you're managing epilepsy with Zeptol 200 Tablet, it might be beneficial to follow a ketogenic diet. This diet is high in fats and low in carbohydrates, which some people find helpful in managing seizures.
