How Does Oxcarbazepine Work?

Oxcarbazepine works by stabilizing electrical activity in the brain. It acts on voltage-gated sodium channels to reduce nerve signal firing, preventing abnormal brain activity that leads to seizures.

Mechanism of Action:

• Blocks excessive electrical activity in the brain

• Enhances GABA-like inhibitory action

• Reduces seizure frequency and severity over time

This mechanism not only helps control epileptic seizures, but also supports neurological balance and daily function.

OXCARBZEN 150 is used for managing:

• Partial seizures (with or without secondary generalization)

• Generalized seizures (as adjunct therapy)

• Seizure disorders in pediatric patients (as approved by your doctor)

Because of its dose flexibility, oxcarbazepine tablet uses is a preferred starting point before increasing to higher strengths based on response.
