How Eslicar works
Eslicar is an anti epileptic medication. It works by blocking the voltage gated sodium channels that stabilizes the hyperexcited nerve cells in the brain. In this way, it treats seizures or fits.
What if you forget to take Eslicar?
If you miss a dose of Eslicar, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.

- Inform your doctor if you develop any unusual changes in mood or behavior, new or worsening depression, or suicidal thoughts or behavior.
- It may cause a reduction in blood sodium level (hyponatremia). Your doctor may monitor your blood sodium level regularly.
- Inform your doctor if you notice skin reaction such as rash, skin peeling, and itching while using this medicine.
- Do not stop taking the medication suddenly without talking to your doctor as it may increase the seizure frequency.

Adult Dose
Partial-Onset Seizures Indicated for partial-onset seizures as monotherapy or adjunctive therapy Initial 400 mg PO qDay For some patients, treatment may be initiated at 800 mg qDay if the need for additional seizure reduction outweighs an increased risk of adverse reactions during initiation Titration & maintenance Increase dose by weekly increments of 400-600 mg, based on clinical response and tolerability Recommended maintenance dose is 800-1600 mg once daily Monotherapy: Consider 800 mg/day maintenance dose in patients unable to tolerate 1200 mg/day Adjunctive therapy: 1600 mg/day should be considered in patients who did not achieve a satisfactory response with 1200 mg/day...

<18 years: Safety and efficacy not established
Renal Dose
Renal impairment
Moderate-to-severe (CrCl <50 mL/min): Reduce the initial, titration, and maintenance doses by 50%; may adjust titration and maintenance doses according to clinical response
Contraindication
Hypersensitivity to the active substance, to other carboxamide derivatives (e.g. carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine) or to any of the excipients. Second or third degree atrioventricular (AV) block.
Mode of Action
Antiepileptic drug; eslicarbazepine acetate is a prodrug that is activated to eslicarbazepine (S-licarbazepine), the major active metabolite of oxcarbazepine.
Stabilizes neuronal membranes by blocking Na+ channels; this may inhibit repetitive firing and may decrease the propagation of synaptic impulses; may also increase potassium conductance and modulate the activity of high-voltage activated calcium channels.
Precaution
Suicidal ideation Suicidal ideation and behaviour have been reported in patients treated with anti-epileptic active substances in several indications. A meta-analysis of randomised placebo-controlled trials of anti-epileptic medicinal products has also shown a small increased risk of suicidal ideation and behaviour. Therefore, patients should be monitored for signs of suicidal ideation and behaviours and appropriate treatment should be considered. Patients (and caregivers of patients) should be advised to seek medical advice should signs of suicidal ideation or behaviour emerge. Nervous system disorders Eslicarbazepine acetate has been associated with some central nervous system adverse reactions, such as dizziness and somnolence, which...
