How Absenz Products work
Ethosuximide belongs to a class of medicines called anticonvulsants. It works by binding with the T-type voltage sensitive calcium channels to regulate the entrance for calcium ions in the nerves and brain. In this way, it decreases the hyperactivity of the brain and nerves. Thus, it works on the nervous system to treat seizures (fits).

Frequently asked questions about Ethosuximide
Q. What is Absenz Syrup used for?
Absenz Syrup is a medicine used to control a specific type of seizure called absence seizures, or petit mal epilepsy. These are brief periods when a person may stop what they are doing and stare blankly for a few seconds. It helps reduce the number of these episodes and improve daily functioning.
Q. What are the serious warning signs I need to watch for while taking Absenz Syrup?
Contact your doctor immediately if you experience symptoms like fever, sore throat, rash, mouth ulcers, bruising, or fatigue while on Absenz Syrup. These may signal blood problems or a severe allergic reaction. Sudden changes in mood, thoughts of self-harm, or new or worsening depression also require urgent medical attention.
Q. Can Absenz Syrup affect my blood or immune system?
Yes. Rarely, Absenz Syrup can cause blood disorders such as low white blood cells or platelets. These conditions can make you more likely to get infections or bleed easily. Your doctor will monitor your blood regularly during treatment.
Q. What is Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS), and can Absenz Syrup cause it?
Yes, Absenz Syrup can cause DRESS, a rare but serious allergic reaction that may include fever, rash, swollen glands, or liver and kidney problems. It can occur even if a rash has not appeared yet. If you notice these symptoms, stop taking Absenz Syrup and get medical help right away.
Q. Can Absenz Syrup cause serious skin reactions?
Although rare, Absenz Syrup can cause life-threatening skin conditions like Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS). Symptoms include a painful rash, blisters, or peeling skin. Stop taking Absenz Syrup immediately if these appear and seek emergency care.
Q. Can Absenz Syrup affect my mood or cause suicidal thoughts?
Like other anti-seizure medicines, Absenz Syrup may increase the risk of suicidal thoughts or behavior in a small number of people. Tell your doctor right away if you or your loved ones notice new or worsening depression, anxiety, irritability, or unusual mood changes.
Q. Does Absenz Syrup affect the liver or kidneys?

Q. Can Absenz Syrup make other types of seizures worse?
In some people who have more than one type of epilepsy, Absenz Syrup may increase grand mal (tonic-clonic) seizures. If your seizures change or worsen after starting the medicine, talk to your doctor right away.
Q. What should I do if I develop a rash or fever while on Absenz Syrup?
A rash or fever can sometimes be the first sign of a serious reaction. Stop taking Absenz Syrup and contact your doctor immediately. Do not wait to see if it goes away on its own.
