Oxcarbazepine Tablets 150mg
Oxcarbazepine is a 10-keto structural analogue of carbamazepine. It is rapidly and completely reduced by cytosolic arylketone reductase into its active 10-monohydroxy metabolite (MHD; licarbazepine), which blocks voltage-sensitive sodium channels and high-voltage-activated calcium channels. Unlike carbamazepine, it does not form a toxic epoxide intermediate and does not undergo hepatic auto-induction. Indicated as monotherapy or adjunctive therapy for partial-onset seizures with or without secondary generalization.
