Gardenal 30 Tablet

Description

Product Introduction:

Gardenal 30 Tablet is a medication belonging to the barbiturates class, commonly used to treat and prevent epilepsy (seizures). It works by slowing down the activity of the brain, helping to control seizures. Gardenal also has hypnotic properties, meaning it can cause drowsiness and sedation, which is useful in managing conditions like epilepsy. It is commonly prescribed to patients who experience recurrent seizures to help reduce the frequency and severity of these episodes.

This medication can be taken with or without food, but it is recommended to take it at the same time each day to maintain a consistent level of the medicine in your system.

SALT COMPOSITION:

• Phenobarbitone (30mg)

How Gardenal 30 Tablet Works:

Gardenal works by increasing the action of GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), a neurotransmitter in the brain that helps suppress abnormal and excessive nerve activity. By enhancing GABA’s effects, Gardenal reduces the electrical impulses in the brain that can lead to seizures (fits). This helps to prevent seizures and manage symptoms associated with epilepsy.
