Epilan Tablet

Description

Product Introduction:

Epilan Tablet is a combination medicine used to treat and prevent epilepsy (seizures). It contains two antiepileptic drugs, Phenobarbitone and Phenytoin, which work together to control seizures by reducing abnormal and excessive nerve cell activity in the brain. Epilan Tablet is commonly prescribed to individuals diagnosed with epilepsy, helping to prevent seizures and improve quality of life.

Key Ingredients:

• Phenobarbitone (30mg): A barbiturate that helps to calm overactive nerve activity in the brain, contributing to the control of seizures.
• Phenytoin (100mg): An anticonvulsant that stabilizes electrical activity in the brain and prevents seizures.

Key Benefits:

1. In the Treatment of Epilepsy:
   • Epilan Tablet helps control seizures by slowing down the abnormal electrical signals in the brain that trigger fits. It reduces the frequency and intensity of seizures in individuals with epilepsy, improving overall brain function and preventing neurological damage.
   • It can help with various seizure types, including tonic-clonic (grand mal) seizures, partial seizures, and more. It may also reduce symptoms such as confusion, uncontrollable jerking movements, loss of awareness, and feelings of fear or anxiety during a seizure.
2. Improved Daily Activities:
   • By controlling seizures, Epilan Tablet enables patients to engage in activities they may have avoided due to fear of seizures, such as driving, swimming, or other daily routines.
3. Gradual Effectiveness:
   • The medicine may take a few weeks to show full effects, as the dose needs to be gradually adjusted. During this adjustment period, some individuals may still experience seizures.

How Epilan Tablet Works:

Epilan Tablet is a combination of Phenobarbitone and Phenytoin, two medications that work synergistically to control seizures:

• Phenobarbitone is a barbiturate that enhances the calming effects on the brain’s electrical activity, which helps prevent seizures.
• Phenytoin stabilizes nerve cell membranes and decreases abnormal electrical activity that can lead to seizures.

Together, they help regulate the brain’s electrical signals, reducing the frequency and severity of seizures in people with epilepsy.

How to Use Epilan Tablet:

• Timing: It can be taken with or without food, but it is recommended to take it at the same time each day to help maintain consistent blood levels of the medicine.
