Gardenal Syrup 100 ml

Gardenal Syrup belongs to the class of medicines known as 'anti-convulsant drugs', indicated in the treatment of epilepsy and the symptoms associated with it, like seizures. Epilepsy is a neurological disorder in which nerves present in the brain fail to function properly, resulting in seizures, sensations, unusual behaviour, and even sometimes loss of consciousness.

Gardenal Syrup consists of Phenobarbital, which works by controlling the abnormal electrical activity in the brain, thereby preventing and controlling seizures. Additionally, it calms down the excited chemicals of the brain and makes a person relaxed so that the brain can function properly.
