Eslizen 400mg Tablet (Eslicarbazepine 400mg)

ESLIZEN 400MG TABLET belongs to the class of medications called ‘antiepileptic drugs’ used to treat epilepsy (fits). Epilepsy is a sudden rush of electricity in the brain. In epilepsy the brain’s electrical rhythms become imbalanced, resulting in recurrent seizures. It can cause changes in your behaviour, movements or feelings and levels of consciousness.

ESLIZEN 400MG TABLET contains ‘Eslicarbazepine acetate’ which is used to treat epilepsy or seizures. It inactivates certain channels in the brain that passes electronic signals. This effect helps to decrease abnormal activity or electrical disturbance in the brain, thereby preventing epilepsy episodes. It reduces the frequency and number of seizure episodes.

You should use this medicine exactly as prescribed by the doctor. ESLIZEN 400MG TABLET may cause side-effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, fatigue and visual disturbances. These side-effects usually resolve without requiring treatment. However, if any of these side-effects persist or get worse, inform your doctor immediately.

It is not recommended to take ESLIZEN 400MG TABLET if you are allergic to its contents or other medicines used to treat epilepsy. Before taking ESLIZEN 400MG TABLET, inform your doctor if you have heart rhythm disorder, heart failure and primary generalised seizures (seizures that involve both sides of the brain). Some people may also experience suicidal thoughts. Seek medical attention immediately in such cases.  ESLIZEN 400MG TABLET should be used with caution in pregnant and breastfeeding women. ESLIZEN 400MG TABLET is not recommended for children below six years of age, severe liver diseases, and severe kidney diseases. ESLIZEN 400MG TABLET may require dose adjustments in elderly people.
