Epiprimid-50 Tablet 10's is used to control various epileptic conditions (fits), prevent seizures and treat shaking attacks (essential tremors). Epilepsy is a central nervous system disorder characterized by a sudden rush of electrical activity in the brain, leading to seizures, unusual behaviour, and loss of awareness. Epiprimid-50 Tablet 10's is ineffective for treating absence (petit mal) seizures.
Epiprimid-50 Tablet 10's contains 'Primidone', which increases the activity of a chemical messenger (GABA) that suppresses the brain's excessive and abnormal activity of nerve cells. Our brain cells (neurons) work by firing at a certain rate to function normally. However, during an epileptic attack or seizure, our neurons are forced to work rapidly compared to normal conditions. Epiprimid-50 Tablet 10's prevents neurons from working at a very fast speed, thereby preventing all brain cells from firing together rapidly in an uncontrolled way. As a result, episodes of seizures are stopped at their initial point only.
