Zeptol Cr 400 Tablet 10

Zeptol CR 400 Tablet is typically used for:

• Management of partial seizures with complex symptomatology: This type of seizure begins in one part of the brain and can affect the person's consciousness.

• Control of generalized tonic-clonic seizures: These are the most common type of generalised seizure, involving the whole body in a series of spasms and contractions.

• Handling mixed seizure patterns: This refers to individuals who experience more than one type of seizure.

• Relieving pain associated with trigeminal neuralgia: This condition causes severe facial pain that feels like a shock.

To correctly use Zeptol CR 400 Tablet, please follow these steps:

• Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not chew or crush it, as this can interfere with the extended-release function, leading to rapid absorption.

• You can take this medication with or without food, according to your preference.

• For specific dose instructions, kindly consult your doctor.

Zeptol CR 400 Tablet is taken orally.

Zeptol CR 400 Tablet contains carbamazepine (400 mg), which has several mechanisms of action:

• Reducing Polysynaptic Responses: Carbamazepine helps in diminishing polysynaptic responses, which are reactions involving more than one synapse in the nervous system.

• Blocking Post-Tetanic Potentiation: This involves impeding an increased level of neuronal excitability following a repetitive stimulation.

• Depressing Thalamic Potential and Bulbar and Polysynaptic Reflexes: Carbamazepine can suppress these forms of activity in our nervous system, helping manage epileptic seizures.

• Raising Synaptic Threshold: This means it increases the level at which neurons in the brain are activated, which can help reduce seizures.

• Reducing Temporal Stimulation Summation: Carbamazepine decreases the build-up of activity over time in certain nerve pathways, which can help control seizures.

• Store your Zeptol CR 400 Tablet at room temperature.

• Keep it away from direct light and moisture.

• Ensure the medicine is kept out of reach and sight of children.

• Remember to use it before the expiry date printed on the pack.

• If you have epilepsy, try to maintain a regular sleep schedule. Disrupted sleep patterns can sometimes trigger seizures.

• For those dealing with trigeminal neuralgia, avoid consuming very cold or hot food and beverages, as extreme temperatures may trigger facial pain.
