What does it do?

Oxcarbazepine is a medication belonging to the anticonvulsant class, primarily used for the treatment of seizures. It aims to prevent seizures by suppressing excessive electrical activity in the nervous system.

Oxcarbazepine reduces the excessive transmission of nerve signals by blocking sodium channels in brain neurons. This alleviates the state of hyperexcitability in the nervous system, thereby suppressing seizures.
