Trioptal 450 Tablet – Antiepileptic Medication for Seizure Control

What is Trioptal 450 Tablet?
Trioptal 450 Tablet is an anti-epileptic medication used to treat and prevent seizures in epilepsy. It may also be prescribed for mania, migraines, and trigeminal neuralgia. While it does not cure epilepsy, it helps control seizures as long as you continue treatment.

Key Benefits:

✔ Reduces abnormal nerve activity in the brain to prevent seizures
✔ Helps manage symptoms like confusion, jerking movements, and loss of awareness
✔ Improves daily functioning and confidence in epilepsy patients
✔ Non-addictive but must be taken regularly for effectiveness

How to Take:

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

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

• Do not stop suddenly—gradual dose adjustment is needed to avoid worsening seizures.

• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible, but skip if close to the next dose.

Possible Side Effects:
