How it works

From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Oxcarbazepine). It describes the substance, not this exact product.

The pharmacological activity of oxcarbazepine is primarily exerted through the 10-monohydroxy metabolite (MHD) of oxcarbazepine [ see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ].

The precise mechanism by which oxcarbazepine and MHD exert their anti-seizure effect is unknown; however, in vitro electrophysiological studies indicate that they produce blockade of voltage-sensitive sodium channels, resulting in stabilization of hyperexcited neural membranes, inhibition of repetitive neuronal firing, and diminution of propagation of synaptic impulses.

How the body breaks it down

Following oral administration of oxcarbazepine tablets, oxcarbazepine is completely absorbed and extensively metabolized to its pharmacologically active 10-monohydroxy metabolite (MHD).

How it leaves the body

Oxcarbazepine is cleared from the body mostly in the form of metabolites which are predominantly excreted by the kidneys.

With food

Food has no effect on the rate and extent of absorption of oxcarbazepine from oxcarbazepine tablets.
