Product introduction
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.
