Product Overview
Composition: Oxcarbazepine (300mg)
CARBOX 300MG TABLET contains Oxcarbazepine which belongs to the group of medicines called Anti-epileptics. It is used alone or in combination with other anti-epileptic medicines in children (aged 6 years and above) and adults to treat partial seizures with or without secondarily generalised tonic-clonic seizures. Seizure occurs due to a temporary fault in the brain’s electrical activity. Partial seizures involve a limited area of the brain but may spread to the whole brain and may cause a generalised tonic-clonic seizure.
Prior to treatment with CARBOX 300MG TABLET, your doctor may want you to take several blood tests to understand your existing condition and to safely use the drug and to decide the appropriate dose of this medicine. Before taking CARBOX 300MG TABLET, inform your doctor if you have liver, kidney (associated with low sodium levels in the blood) or heart problems (such as heart failure or heart rhythm disorder) or intolerance to certain sugars (such as lactose).
