Absenz Syrup is an anti-epileptic medicine used to treat seizures/epilepsy. It works by slowing down the hyperactivity of the brain and nerves in the brain which cause seizures (fits). It also helps reduce symptoms such as confusion, uncontrollable jerking movements, loss of awareness, and fear or anxiety.

Absenz Syrup may be taken with or without food but try to take it at the same time each day. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully to get the maximum benefit. The dose will depend on your condition and how you respond to the medicine. Your doctor will advise the right dose for you. You should continue taking it for as long as your doctor has told you to, even if you feel well. If you stop or miss doses your seizures could get worse.

Common side effects of this medicine include dizziness, headache, somnolence, anorexia, diarrhea, gastrointestinal upset, nausea, and vomiting. Side effects are more common during the first few weeks and usually lessen as your body gets used to the medicine. Most do not need medical attention, but some of them can be serious. Let your doctor know if you have any symptoms, there may be ways of preventing or reducing them. A small number of people being treated with this medicine have had thoughts of harming or killing themselves. Contact your doctor if your mood changes for the worse.

Before taking it, you should tell your doctor if you have kidney problems, depression, or suicidal thoughts, and if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. You should also not breastfeed while taking this medicine. Additionally, do not drink alcohol or take other medicines that make you sleepy or dizzy while on treatment with this medicine.

Dr. Jyoti Kapoor Madan

Psychiatry

Epilepsy is a central nervous system disorder (neurological disorder) in which nerve cell activity in the brain becomes disrupted, causing seizures or periods of unusual behavior, sensations and sometimes loss of consciousness. Medicines for epilepsy are initially recommended for at least 3 years of seizure free interval but may continue longer depending on recurrence. Epileptic patient needs to carry a warning card or a medical emergency bracelet with identification details, his/ her epilepsy status and what people can do if fit occurs in public place.
