Oxetol XR 450 Tablet

Description

Oxetol XR 450 Tablet is a prescription medicine used for the management of epilepsy and seizure disorders. It contains Oxcarbazepine (450mg) in an extended-release formulation, which allows for steady therapeutic levels in the bloodstream throughout the day, helping to control seizures effectively and reduce breakthrough episodes. Oxcarbazepine belongs to the class of anticonvulsants, acting 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 it can be used alone or as adjunctive therapy with other anticonvulsants. The extended-release form allows for simplified once or twice daily dosing, which improves adherence and maintains consistent seizure control.

How to Use:

• Take the tablet orally as prescribed by your doctor.

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

• Can be taken with or without food.

• Maintain a consistent schedule for optimal therapeutic effect.

Dosage:

• Dose is individualized according to age, weight, type of seizures, and response to treatment.

• Regular monitoring and follow-ups are important to adjust dosage safely.

• Do not abruptly stop or change the dose, 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 blood tests may be needed to monitor sodium levels (hyponatremia) and kidney function.

• Exercise caution during pregnancy or breastfeeding; discuss potential risks with your healthcare provider.

• Limit alcohol consumption as it may increase drowsiness, dizziness, 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
