Oxetol 300 Mg Side Effects
(Newest replies first)

Hi there,

My dad is 58yrs old, he's an epilepsy patient for last 30+ years..Right from inital stage till date he has been using sodium valproate 400mg twice a day. Recently a few weeks back he's affected with epilepsy (fits) after nearly two years gap.

As a common practice we have consulted the doctor and has make him to undergo all the test (ECG/EPG) etc tests.

As a result the doctor whom we consulted has advised to stop using sodium valproate 400mg and replace it with Oxetol 300mg and assured this should take care of the issue.

Now all im worried here is, with my dad being 58yrs old, will changing the medicine now have any kind of impact? Will he be safe?

Please advise, im pretty worried about his health...

Thanks
Pr

Re: Verwon (# 11)

Hi verwon. I'm 26 years old. I had a seizure in jan 2015 but i ignored it and it happened again in march 2016 one time only... In jan 2017 i got married and this type of attack happened again in march 2017. Then me and my husband went to a doctor and she suggested I have a brain MRI scan. In result, she said i have a bunch of vessels in the left side of my brain and a little up to my ear... She prescribed me oxetol 300 and librozym twice a day. Is this medicine safe to take during pregnancy? Whenever i stop these medications i get seizures again and also weakness in the right side area of my body... After these attacks occurred i also suddenly lost a noticeable percent of my eyesight in my right eye... I'm very disturbed by this. Please guide me.

Hello, i take oxetol 600, frisium 30mg and Calvit LC in a day, but when I see the side effects of these drugs then I want to stop treatment. So how can I leave these drugs? I feel depression and this treatment hinders my career. My age is 27 year.

Saw your post and thought of writing my experience. To avoid sodium loss the nerologist has also prescribed a tablet a day of CCM*. I have been taking it for the last one and a half year and do not have any problem whatsoever..... No pain no problems at all.

So now my dosages are

(1) 450 mg oxetol a day (225 mg x 2 times). Earlier, I had to take 600 mg oxetol a day, now reduced for the last month- no pain at all at this dose too.
and
(2) a tablet of CCM at night

I am 67 and very happy with Dr as well as what he has prescribed!!!!

My wife was suffering from Trigeminal Neuralgia since 2010. Doctors here at Bhubaneswar (Apollo Hospital & Aditya Care Hospital) advised her to go for operation in IIMS, NEW DELHI. Accordingly she was taken to Delhi. But Dr Asok Mahapatra (H.O. D. -Neurol-Surgery) advised not to go for operation. He referred to Neurology Dept & was given one Injection on her forehead. Swelling occurred for 8-10 days & she was nor after that. She was also cured. But after a period of 8 months she suffered from Neuralgia problems again. Previously she was taking oxitol 150. After taking Oxitol 300 regularly for 4 year she suffered from head-rilling. Now Doctors are saying that it is due to a decrease of Sodium levels in her blood. They have stopped the use of Oxitol 300. Now her head-rilling is increasing day by day. So, what to do? Should she continue Oxitol 300 or not?

Pr,
It is too early to say if Oxetol will do a good job or not. You ought to have asked your doc why there was a relapse and why he was taking sodium valporate off. It is quite natural for one to turn to internet forum when worried but specialist answers are seldom found here. You look for hope and read a lot of stuff that will just confuse you. If that doc kept you dad convulsion free for many years, just trust that what he did was in the best interests of your dad.

Please read side effects of oxetol from internet website. There are many links withanswers. All synthetic medicines are like poisons. They make us severely ill and die so early. If you stop these, you will be fine. Please take more fresh fruits and vegetables for healthy lives.
