Glozepine - 300 (Oxcarbazepine 300 Mg)

Glozepine-300 Tablet is used for the management and prevention of epilepsy-related seizures. While it does not cure epilepsy, it helps in controlling seizures for as long as the medication is taken consistently.

It can be prescribed as a standalone treatment or along with other anti-epileptic medications. The dosage and frequency will be determined by your doctor based on your condition and response to the treatment. The dose may be adjusted gradually to achieve the desired effect. This medicine can be taken with or without food, but taking it at the same time every day improves its effectiveness. It typically takes a few weeks to start working. It’s essential to keep taking it regularly, even if you feel fine, as stopping it abruptly or missing doses may result in breakthrough seizures or worsening symptoms.

Common side effects may include dizziness, tiredness, drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, and unsteady movement. In most cases, these symptoms are mild and temporary. If you develop a rash or any skin reaction, inform your doctor immediately, as it could be a sign of a serious skin condition known as Stevens-Johnson syndrome. Long-term use may lower bone density and increase the risk of fractures. Some patients may also experience mood changes or thoughts of self-harm. Report any such symptoms to your doctor.

Before starting Glozepine-300 Tablet, inform your doctor if you have a history of heart issues, liver or kidney disease, depression, urinary difficulties, or any mental health concerns. This medication can interact with several others, so it’s important to inform your doctor about everything you're taking. Avoid alcohol, as it may intensify drowsiness or the risk of seizures. Frequent blood tests may be necessary before and during treatment to help ensure the dose is safe and effective.
