Trioptal 150 Tablet – Antiepileptic Medication

What is Trioptal 150 Tablet?
Trioptal 150 Tablet is an antiepileptic (anti-seizure) medicine used to treat and prevent epilepsy, seizures, trigeminal neuralgia, and mania. It helps control symptoms but does not cure epilepsy—consistent use is necessary to prevent seizures.

Key Benefits:

✔ Reduces abnormal nerve activity in the brain to prevent seizures
✔ Helps manage symptoms like confusion, jerking movements, and loss of awareness
✔ Non-addictive but must not be stopped suddenly

How to Take:

• Take with or without food, but at the same time daily for best results.

• Swallow whole—do not crush, chew, or break.

• Dosage is gradually adjusted by your doctor—follow instructions carefully.

• It may take a few weeks to show full effects.

Possible Side Effects:

Most are mild and temporary:

• Dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, fatigue

• Headache, tremors, blurred vision

• Low sodium levels (hyponatremia)

Serious but rare side effects (seek immediate medical help):
⚠ Skin rash/redness (risk of Stevens-Johnson syndrome)
⚠ Mood changes, depression, suicidal thoughts
⚠ Osteoporosis risk with long-term use

Important Safety Information:

• Avoid alcohol (increases drowsiness & seizure risk).

• Do not drive until you know how it affects you (may cause dizziness/blurred vision).

• Pregnancy & breastfeeding: Consult doctor—potential risks to baby.

• Kidney/liver disease: Dose adjustments may be needed.

• Drug interactions: Inform your doctor about all medications you take.

• Missed dose? Take ASAP, but skip if close to the next dose—never double dose.

How It Works:

Trioptal 150 Tablet calms overactive nerve signals in the brain, reducing seizure frequency.

Note: Regular blood tests may be required to monitor sodium levels and dosage effectiveness.
