ZEN Retard 300 Tablet ER belongs to a group of medicines called anticonvulsants or anti-epileptics used to treat epilepsy (fits) and trigeminal neuralgia (pain in the faces nerves).
It contains Carbamazepine that reduces the electrical impulses and subsequent firing of the nerve impulses that cause fits. Thus, the medicine decreases the excessive and abnormal nerve activity in the brain, thereby controlling seizures.
ZEN Retard 300 Tablet ER must be taken with or without food, but take it at the same time every day. The dose and how often you need to take it will be decided by your doctor so that you get the right amount to control your symptoms. Many other medicines can interfere with this medicine so tell your doctor about all the medicines you are taking to make sure it is safe.
Most of the side effects are not serious. However, let your doctor know straight away if you notice a skin rash or if your mood becomes depressed or if you develop any thoughts about harming yourself.
You may be advised some blood tests (eg. CBC) before starting treatment and then periodically thereafter, to monitor your progress.
