Zeptol Cr 300 Tablet 10

Zeptol CR 300 Tablet is used for the control of various types of seizures in epilepsy and the management of trigeminal neuralgia (severe facial nerve pain). This medication contains Carbamazepine, an anticonvulsant that works by stabilizing electrical activity in the brain. It is effective in managing both partial and generalized tonic-clonic seizures, as well as alleviating the intense nerve pain associated with trigeminal neuralgia.

To effectively utilise Zeptol CR 300 Tablet, follow these instructions:

• Take the tablet whole with a glass of water.

• Avoid crushing, chewing or splitting the tablet.

• Ensure regular intervals between doses to maintain consistent levels in the blood.

• Do not stop taking this medicine abruptly without consulting your doctor first.

Zeptol CR 300 Tablet is taken orally.

Zeptol CR 300 Tablet contains carbamazepine (300 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Stabilises Hyperactive Nerve Impulses: Carbamazepine helps in stabilising the nerve impulses in the brain that are hyperactive, thereby managing seizures effectively.

• Blocks Abnormal Electrical Signals: These abnormal signals, responsible for causing pain in trigeminal neuralgia, are blocked by carbamazepine, offering relief to the patient.

• Balances Nerve Activity: By reducing the excessive firing of neurons, carbamazepine helps in balancing the nerve activity within the brain.

• Keep this medicine in a cool, dry place. The ideal temperature is room temperature.

• Shield the medicine from direct light, heat and moisture.

• Always ensure the medicine is kept well out of reach of children.

• Remember to look at the expiry date and make sure to use it before it passes.

• If you're taking Zeptol CR 300 Tablet for epilepsy, try to follow a balanced diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables. Some studies suggest that a ketogenic diet – high in fats and low in carbohydrates – may help manage seizures in some people. Consult your doctor before making any major dietary changes.

• For managing trigeminal neuralgia, avoid eating foods that require heavy chewing or wide mouth opening. Soft foods can help minimise the pain associated with this condition.
