T ZETOL SR 600MG TABLET 10'S

How T ZETOL SR 600MG TABLET 10'S Works

• T ZETOL SR 600MG TABLET contains Oxcarbazepine, which belongs to the group of medicines called Anticonvulsants. It is used to treat epilepsy (fits). Epilepsy is a condition in which a person has repeated seizures (fits). Seizures are caused by a disruption of the electrical activity in the brain.
• Oxcarbazepine works by reducing the abnormal electrical activity in the brain that causes seizures. It does this by blocking voltage-sensitive sodium channels. These channels are crucial for the generation and propagation of nerve impulses. By blocking these channels, oxcarbazepine stabilizes neuronal membranes and inhibits the repetitive firing of neurons, thus preventing the spread of seizures.
• Specifically, oxcarbazepine and its active metabolite, 10,11-dihydro-10-hydroxycarbazepine (MHD), exert their anticonvulsant effect by blocking voltage-sensitive sodium channels, leading to the stabilization of hyperexcited neuronal membranes, inhibition of repetitive neuronal firing, and diminution of propagation of synaptic impulses. Furthermore, increased potassium conductance and modulation of high-voltage activated calcium channels may contribute to the neuroprotective and antinociceptive effects of oxcarbazepine. This dual mechanism helps to control seizures effectively.
• T ZETOL SR 600MG TABLET is designed as a sustained-release formulation. This means the medication is released slowly into your system over an extended period. This helps maintain a consistent level of the drug in your body, reducing fluctuations and potentially minimizing side effects. The sustained-release action allows for once-daily dosing, improving patient compliance and convenience compared to immediate-release formulations that require multiple doses per day. This controlled release mechanism ensures that the brain receives a steady supply of the medication to effectively manage and prevent seizures throughout the day and night.

Uncommon side effects may include liver problems (such as jaundice), pancreatitis, kidney problems, blood disorders (such as anemia or low white blood cell count), allergic reactions (such as hives, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat), mood changes, depression, anxiety, confusion, memory problems, tremors, numbness or tingling, muscle pain or weakness, irregular heartbeats, and increased risk of infections. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any severe or persistent side effects.

• If you miss a dose of T ZETOL SR 600MG TABLET 10'S, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to catch up.

• Keep T ZETOL SR 600MG TAB 1X10 away from the reach of children and pets.
• Store T ZETOL SR 600MG TAB 1X10 at room temperature.

• Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or break it, as this can affect the way the medication is released in your body. The 'SR' in the name stands for sustained-release, meaning the medication is released slowly over time.
• Take T ZETOL SR 600MG Tablet at the same time each day to help you remember and to maintain a consistent level of medication in your bloodstream. Consistency is key for optimal effectiveness of the drug.
• Be aware of potential side effects. Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, stomach upset, or headache. If these side effects persist or worsen, inform your doctor promptly. More serious side effects are rare, but seek immediate medical attention if you experience any unusual symptoms.
• Inform your doctor about all other medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs, herbal supplements, and vitamins. T ZETOL SR 600MG Tablet can interact with certain medications, potentially affecting their effectiveness or increasing the risk of side effects. This is important for your safety and the success of your treatment.
