About Oxetol Suspension
Oxetol Suspension is used to treat epilepsy, seizures, or fits. Epilepsy is a central nervous system disorder characterised by a sudden rush of electrical activity in the brain, leading to seizures, unusual behaviour, and loss of awareness.
Oxetol Suspension contains oxcarbazepine, which works by reducing the attacks of seizures or epilepsy by decreasing the nerve impulses that cause fits. Thereby, it helps in controlling seizures.
In some cases, you may experience common side effects, such as dizziness, sleepiness, tiredness, headache, nausea, vomiting, double vision, stomach pain, diarrhoea, constipation, and weakness. You are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
Inform your physician if you are allergic to Oxetol Suspension. Please do not stop taking Oxetol Suspension without consulting your doctor to avoid precipitating seizures. If you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy, you should consult your doctor before using Oxetol Suspension. Avoid taking Oxetol Suspension while breastfeeding, as it may cause side effects in breastfed babies.
