Oxetol XR 600 Tablet

Description

Oxetol XR 600 Tablet is a prescription medicine used for the management of epilepsy and seizure disorders. It contains Oxcarbazepine (600mg) in an extended-release formulation, which provides stable therapeutic blood levels throughout the day, helping to control seizures effectively and prevent breakthrough episodes. Oxcarbazepine is an anticonvulsant that works by stabilizing overactive nerve membranes, inhibiting repetitive neuronal firing, and regulating abnormal electrical activity in the brain.

This medication is indicated for partial-onset seizures in adults and children and can be used alone or as adjunctive therapy with other anticonvulsants. The extended-release form allows for simplified dosing, usually once or twice daily, improving patient compliance and maintaining consistent seizure control.

How to Use:

• Take the tablet orally as prescribed by your doctor.

• Swallow the tablet whole; do not crush, chew, or break the extended-release tablet.

• Can be taken with or without food.

• Maintain a consistent dosing schedule for optimal effect.

Dosage:

• Dose is individualized based on age, weight, seizure type, and response to therapy.

• Regular follow-ups are necessary for safe dosage adjustments.

• Do not suddenly stop or alter the medication as it may trigger seizures.

Precautions:

• Inform your doctor if you have kidney or liver disease, heart conditions, or a history of allergic reactions to anticonvulsants.

• Periodic monitoring of sodium levels (hyponatremia) and kidney function may be needed.

• Use caution during pregnancy or breastfeeding; consult your healthcare provider regarding risks.

• Avoid alcohol as it may increase dizziness, drowsiness, or seizure risk.

Possible Side Effects:

• Common: dizziness, drowsiness, headache, nausea, vomiting

• Mild: fatigue, blurred vision, mild gastrointestinal discomfort

• Rare: severe allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling), hyponatremia (low sodium), liver function abnormalities, or mood changes
