Oxetol 300 Mg Side Effects (Page 5)
(Newest replies first)

Hi there,

My dad is 58yrs old, he's an epilepsy patient for last 30+ years..Right from inital stage till date he has been using sodium valproate 400mg twice a day. Recently a few weeks back he's affected with epilepsy (fits) after nearly two years gap.

As a common practice we have consulted the doctor and has make him to undergo all the test (ECG/EPG) etc tests.

As a result the doctor whom we consulted has advised to stop using sodium valproate 400mg and replace it with Oxetol 300mg and assured this should take care of the issue.

Now all im worried here is, with my dad being 58yrs old, will changing the medicine now have any kind of impact? Will he be safe?

Please advise, im pretty worried about his health...

Thanks

i am 43 yrs male, i had got first episod of epilepsy on 25th jan 2011 in sleep. was unconscious for 5 mins, i do not remember the event... for 2 hrs. my wife gave all the details to the dr. with the local consultant put me on oxetol 300mg 1-0-1,
i had an head injury (Lt. temperoparietal area) when i was 11yrs (33yrs back) they say epilepsy was because of that- scar/ gliosis.
now with my relatives request i had to visit another neurologist who says its a very low dose... i should be given oxetol 600 mg... should i continue or change my drug dosage.

Thanks much for your reply Verwon.

As i understand from your reply, you recon my dad should try using Oxetol 300.

So far for last 1 week be had switched using Oxetol 300, there has been no major side effects we noticed. How ever as i understand he is prompting him self to sleep almost all time... plus he is bit confused, sitting ideal and not talking to any one...

I'm worried is this a wrong sign?

Thanks heaps for your help on this mate.

It is normal for someone's body to adjust to a medication after they have used it for a prolonged period of time and this can cause it to lose its effectiveness.

By switching to another medication, the doctor hopes to help him regain control and stop the seizures.

Oxetol contains the active ingredient Oxcarbazepine. It has been proven effective and has helped many people.

The only way, however, to know if it will help your dad and be safe for him to use is for him to actually try it.

He may experience side effects, such as: nausea, drowsiness, constipation and stomach pain.
