Trioptal Tablets 600mg

Product overview:

Product form: Tablets 

Manufactured by: Novartis Pharmaceuticals (Pvt) Ltd

Prescription: Yes

Product Details

Trioptal Tablets 600mg contain oxcarbazepine, an antiepileptic medication primarily used to manage seizures. The active metabolite, MHD, works by blocking voltage-sensitive sodium channels, which helps stabilize overexcited neural membranes, reducing repetitive neuronal firing.

This leads to the suppression of seizure activity. Additionally, Trioptal Tablets may also modulate potassium conductance and calcium channels, contributing to their anticonvulsant effects.

Purposes

These Trioptal Tablets 600mg are specifically indicated for:

• Partial Seizures: Effective in treating partial seizures, with or without secondary generalization to tonic-clonic seizures.

By providing consistent and reliable control over seizure activity, Trioptal Tablets help patients manage their condition effectively, allowing them to lead a more stable life.

Warnings

• Hypersensitivity Reactions: Immediate hypersensitivity reactions, including rash, angioedema, and anaphylaxis, have been reported. In such cases, discontinue Trioptal Tablets 600mg immediately and consider alternative treatment.
• Liver Function: Rare cases of hepatitis have been noted. If liver function is compromised, evaluate the situation and consider stopping oxcarbazepine.
• Bone Marrow Depression: Discontinue the medication if there are signs of significant bone marrow depression.

Adverse Effects

Trioptal Tablets can cause several side effects, including:

• Very Common: Tiredness, headache, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, and double vision.
• Common: Weakness, memory issues, agitation, blurred vision, stomach pain, weight gain, and speech disturbances.
• Uncommon: High blood pressure, hives, and elevated liver enzymes.

Cautions

• Drug Interactions: Be mindful of potential interactions with hormonal contraceptives, other antiepileptics, diuretics, and specific medications like lithium and monoamine oxidase inhibitors. Inform your healthcare provider about all the drugs and supplements you are taking.
• Thyroid Function in Children: Monitoring thyroid function in children is recommended during oxcarbazepine therapy due to its potential impact on thyroid hormones.

Trioptal Tablets are a reliable choice for those managing partial seizures, providing a mechanism that stabilizes neural activity. Adhere to your healthcare provider's guidance for safe and effective use.
