Phenobarbitone 30mg tablet

Phenobarbitone 30mg Tablet 100s

Phenobarbitone 30mg is a drug used in medicine to treat and prevent seizures. It belongs to a group of medications known as barbiturates, and has a long history of safe use for the treatment of epilepsy. When taken as prescribed by the doctor, this tablet can have a significant impact when someone in your family experiences seizures. 

What Is Phenobarbitone Used For?

All seizure medications are not created equal. Phenobarbitone belongs to a group of drugs called barbiturates. It is a simple procedure. Those flashes go out of control quickly. This tablet intervenes to slow this process down before a complete seizure occurs. 

It is prescribed by doctors when patients suffer from:

• Tonic-clonic (grand mal) seizures.
• High fevers and children with convulsions
• Certain partial seizures
• Certain types of febrile (fever-related) seizures in children, when appropriate
• Epilepsy and other seizure disorders that need long-term control

It will not help with absence seizures, though. Your doctor knows you best, so consult them first.

How Does It Work Inside the Body?

In the brain, there is a chemical known as GABA. It’s kind of a brain brake system. That brake is too weak in people who develop seizures. Phenobarbitone increases the effects of GABA. The nervous system calms down. The abnormal electrical activity that initiates the seizure is blocked. Patients typically experience significant improvement with seizure control after continued treatment.

Getting the Dose Right

Adults typically take anywhere from 30mg to 120mg per day. The doctor splits this into two or three doses through the day. A lot of patients prefer taking the full dose at night. Waking up without heavy daytime drowsiness makes the whole treatment easier to stick to.

Now, the most important thing about this medicine. Never stop on your own. No skipping. No quitting cold. Stopping without a plan causes withdrawal seizures and they come back harder. A doctor will bring the dose down bit by bit over time when stopping is needed.

Side Effects and Warnings Worth Knowing

Alcohol is completely off the table with this medicine. There is no safe amount. Mixing them makes drowsiness spike to a dangerous point.

On blood thinners like warfarin? Mention it before you start. This tablet can change how those medicines behave in your body.

Feeling dizzy, tired, or foggy in the first few days is fairly normal. It passes for most people. Kids can actually go the other way and get hyperactive instead of calm. As for pregnancy, If you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding, speak with your doctor before using this medicine.

Keep the tablets somewhere cool and dry, out of sunlight.
