Overview
Trileptal 300mg Tablet contains oxcarbazepine, an anticonvulsant (anti-epileptic) medicine used alone or together with other anti-epileptic medicines to control partial seizures, with or without secondary generalisation, in adults and children.
Oxcarbazepine works by stabilising the electrical activity of nerve cells in the brain, reducing the abnormal, repetitive nerve firing that causes seizures.
How it Works
Trileptal blocks voltage-sensitive sodium channels in nerve cell membranes, stabilising overexcited nerve cells and preventing the repetitive high-frequency firing that triggers a seizure. It also affects certain potassium and calcium channels involved in nerve cell excitability.
Directions for Use
Take the tablet with or without food, at evenly spaced times each day. Do not stop or change your dose without consulting your doctor, even if you feel well.
Dosage
The dose is individualised by your specialist based on seizure control and tolerability, usually started low and increased gradually, and taken in two divided doses per day.
Shelf Life
Refer to the expiry date printed on the packaging.
Storage Instructions
Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.
