Absenz Syrup
PRODUCT DETAILS
About Absenz Syrup
ETHOSUXIMIDE belongs to a group of anticonvulsants or anti-epileptic medications primarily used to treat epilepsy/seizures/fits. Epilepsy is a sudden rush of electricity in the brain. In epilepsy, the brain's electrical rhythms become imbalanced, resulting in recurrent seizures, sometimes leading to an unconscious state.
The ETHOSUXIMIDE contains ‘ethosuximide’, which decreases the brain's excessive and abnormal nerve activity. Thereby helping in controlling seizures.
Take ETHOSUXIMIDE as prescribed. Depending on your medical condition, you should take ETHOSUXIMIDE for as long as your doctor has prescribed it. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as nausea, vomiting, hiccup, and abdominal pain. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
Please do not stop taking ETHOSUXIMIDE without consulting your doctor to avoid worsening seizures. Inform your doctor if you have had an allergic reaction to ETHOSUXIMIDE or any ingredients in it. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and all the medicines you take before taking ETHOSUXIMIDE to rule out any side effects. Do not take ETHOSUXIMIDE if you are pregnant or breastfeeding unless prescribed by the doctor. ETHOSUXIMIDE is to be taken with caution, and the dose may have to be adjusted by your doctor if you have had a history of kidney/liver diseases. ETHOSUXIMIDE may alter the ability to drive. Do not drive or operate machinery if you experience any symptoms that affect your ability to concentrate and react. Seek medical attention if the symptoms persist longer.
