Oxcarbazepine is a medicine for focal (partial) seizures in epilepsy. It is a close relative of carbamazepine with fewer interactions.

- Trigeminal neuralgia (off-label)
How does it work?
Oxcarbazepine blocks sodium channels in nerve cells, which slows the rapid firing that causes seizures.
This information is written in simple words to help you understand this product. It does not replace advice from your doctor or pharmacist.
Read these points before you start. If any of them apply to you, talk to your doctor or pharmacist first.
- Do not stop taking it suddenly, even if you feel well. This can bring on seizures. Your doctor will lower the dose slowly if you need to stop.
- A small number of people taking seizure medicines have thoughts of self-harm. Tell your doctor straight away if you notice changes in your mood.
- It can make you sleepy or dizzy. Do not drive until you know how it affects you, and follow the driving rules for epilepsy in your country.
- Alcohol can make drowsiness worse and may make seizures more likely.
- Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding. Some seizure medicines can harm an unborn baby, but stopping suddenly can also be dangerous.
- Tell your doctor if you have liver or kidney problems.
- It can lower blood sodium. Your doctor may check your sodium levels.
- It can make hormonal contraceptives less effective. Use another method as well.
- If you have had a rash with carbamazepine, tell your doctor.
- Tell your doctor or pharmacist about every other medicine, vitamin or herbal product you use.
- Keep this product out of the reach and sight of children.
Like all medicines, Trileptal can cause side effects, but not everybody gets them.
Common side effects
- Feeling sleepy or tired
- Dizziness or feeling unsteady
- Headache
- Feeling sick
- Double vision
These are usually mild and often get better as your body gets used to it. Tell your doctor if they bother you or do not go away.
Stop using it and get medical help straight away if you notice:
- Thoughts of harming yourself, or sudden changes in mood or behaviour
- A severe skin rash, especially with blisters, peeling, mouth sores or fever
- Seizures that are more frequent or last longer
- Fever, swollen glands and feeling unwell (a rare allergic reaction)
- Confusion, headache, more seizures and weakness (low sodium)
This is not a complete list. If you notice anything unusual, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
- Take it twice a day, with or without food.
- A common adult dose starts at 300 mg twice a day and may be increased to 600 mg twice a day or more.
- Swallow the tablet with water.
If you miss a dose: Take it as soon as you remember, unless it is nearly time for your next dose. Never take two doses at once.
If you use too much: Contact your doctor, a poison control centre or your local emergency number straight away, even if you feel fine. Take the pack with you.
How to store it: Keep it in its original pack at room temperature (below 25°C / 77°F), away from heat, damp and direct sunlight. Do not use it after the expiry date.
