Benefits of Zenoxa Tablet SR:
In Epilepsy/Seizures:
Zenoxa OD 600 Tablet SR works to reduce the frequency and severity of seizures by controlling the excessive nerve activity in the brain. By doing so, it helps manage symptoms such as confusion, jerking movements, and anxiety, which are associated with epilepsy. It allows you to maintain better control of your daily activities with more confidence.
While Zenoxa helps in controlling seizures, it is important to continue taking it as prescribed, even when you feel better. Missing doses can lead to a recurrence of seizures, and stopping suddenly can worsen your condition.

- Heart Problems: Inform your doctor if you have any history of heart problems, as Zenoxa may not be suitable for you.
- Kidney or Liver Disease: Let your doctor know if you have any kidney or liver issues, as these conditions may affect how the medicine works.
- Alcohol: Avoid alcohol, as it can increase the side effects of Zenoxa, including drowsiness and dizziness, and may also increase the risk of seizures.
- Pregnancy: Consult your doctor before taking Zenoxa if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. The use of this medication during pregnancy should only be considered if absolutely necessary.
- Other Medications: Many other medicines can interact with Zenoxa, so be sure to tell your doctor about all the medications you are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements.
