ABOUT EPIFAST SYRUP

Epifast Syrup 100 ml is used to treat seizures (fits) due to epilepsy. Epilepsy is a chronic condition where patients have repeated fits (convulsions). Epifast Syrup 100 ml is used for the epilepsy form in which the fits affect only one side of the brain, but could extend to larger areas on both sides of the brain.

Epifast Syrup 100 ml contains Levetiracetam, which works by slowing down the abnormal signals in the brain that cause seizures. It helps by suppressing specific brain sites responsible for abnormal activity and prevents the spread of electrical signals that cause seizures. It reduces the episodes of seizures but does not cure epilepsy.

Take Epifast Syrup 100 ml as prescribed. Your doctor will decide how often you should take Epifast Syrup 100 ml based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience daytime drowsiness, disturbed sleep, light-headedness, dizziness, sleepiness, general weakness, and unexplained infections. Most of the side effects of Epifast Syrup 100 ml do not require medical attention and usually resolve on their own over time. However, if the side effects persist, contact your doctor.

Inform the doctor if you have kidney disease, lung disease, muscle weakness (myasthenia gravis), difficulty in sleeping (sleep apnoea), severe liver disease, or a problem with alcohol or other prescription drugs. Consult the doctor if you are pregnant or planning to get pregnant. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery until you know how Epifast Syrup 100 ml affects you, as its intake may cause dizziness or sleepiness. Suddenly stopping Epifast Syrup 100 ml can cause withdrawal symptoms like anxiety, increased heart rate, tremors, or a general unwell feeling. Suicidal thoughts or actions can be caused in some patients taking Epifast Syrup 100 ml, so pay attention to any sudden change in mood swings, behaviour, or feeling.
