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.
