Trioptal 300MG

Oxcarbazepine 300 mg

Treatment of epilepsy/seizure disorders (partial/focal seizures with or without secondary generalization); may be used alone or with other antiepileptic medicines as prescribed.

Oxcarbazepine is an antiepileptic that reduces abnormal electrical activity in the brain. It mainly blocks voltage-gated sodium channels, stabilizing overexcited nerve membranes and helping prevent seizures.

Tablet for oral use. Take exactly as prescribed, usually in divided doses (e.g., twice daily) at the same time each day, with or without food. Swallow with water; do not stop suddenly without medical advice.

Dizziness, drowsiness, headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, double vision (diplopia), blurred vision, unsteadiness/ataxia, tremor

May cause dizziness/sleepiness—avoid driving or operating machinery until you know its effects. Risk of low sodium (hyponatremia); seek care for confusion, severe weakness, seizures worsening, or persistent nausea. Rare serious skin reactions (SJS/TEN) and allergic reactions can occur; stop and seek urgent medical help for rash, blistering, facial swelling or breathing difficulty. Monitor for mood changes/suicidal thoughts. Use caution in kidney impairment and in elderly; dose adjustment may be needed. Do not stop abruptly due to risk of seizure recurrence.

Hormonal contraceptives (reduced efficacy), phenytoin, carbamazepine, phenobarbital, valproate (levels/efficacy may change), other CNS depressants/alcohol (increased drowsiness), diuretics (increased hyponatremia risk)
