Do not give this medicine to a child without medical advice.There are specific age restrictions for the use of oxcarbazepine in children, depending on the dose form and whether it is used alone or with other medicines. How should I take oxcarbazepine?
Daily doses above 1200 mg/day show somewhat greater effectiveness in controlled trials, but most patients were not able to tolerate the 2400 mg/day dose, primarily because of central nervous (CNS) effects. Dosage adjustment is recommended with concomitant use of strong CYP3A4 enzyme inducers or...
Physiochemical propertiesOxcarbazepine is the 10-keto analogue of carbamazepine. It is a neutral lipophilic compound, and, like carbamazepine, very insoluble in water. It is not clear whether it is as unstable in humid conditions as is carbamazepine. The antiepileptic action of carbamazepine is, like...

Fire:It is not considered to be a fire hazard. However, it will burn at high temperature. Fire Extinguishing Media:Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide. Avoid solid water jets. Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers. ...
Oxcarbazepine is structurally a derivative of carbamazepine; used for the treatment of partial seizures in epileptic children and adults[1]. Compared with carbamazepine, it contains an extra oxygen atom to the benzylcarboxamide group, reducing the impact on the liver of metabolizing the drug, and al...
1. How it worksOxcarbazepine is an anticonvulsant that reduces the frequency of certain types of seizures. Once in the body, it is metabolized in the liver to another compound, called MHD, which also helps to reduce seizure frequency. The exact way oxcarbazepine and its active metabolite exert...
controlled group which was given pure oxcarbazepine. The study concludes the potential of the centrifugal spinning technique for the production of drug loaded fibers that can significantly enhance the dissolution rates of poorly soluble drugs and thus produce formulations for quick action of such drugs....
Body temperature control is a complex biological process controlled not only by the hypothalamus but also by peripheral thermo-sensors [21]. It has been demonstrated that hypothermia-inducing drugs effectively promote hypothermia in multiple species, including humans [52,53,54]. Ion channels of the ...
