Tremidon 50Mg Tablet 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. Tremidon 50Mg Tablet is ineffective for treating absence (petit mal) seizures.

Tremidon 50Mg Tablet 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. Tremidon 50Mg Tablet 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. 

Take Tremidon 50Mg Tablet with or without food. You are advised to take Tremidon 50Mg Tablet for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects, such as nausea, headache, vomiting, drowsiness, vertigo, visual impairment, low energy, impaired coordination, and nystagmus (involuntary eye movement). Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Tremidon 50Mg Tablet is also used to control and prevent fits during or after a severe head injury or brain surgery. Tremidon 50Mg Tablet is also used to treat trigeminal neuralgia (facial nerve pain). Tremidon 50Mg Tablet works by controlling the overactivity of the brain that causes seizures (fits). Thereby, Tremidon 50Mg Tablet helps in controlling epileptic fits involving muscle spasms and jerking.

Epilepsy: It is a central nervous system disorder in which brain activity becomes abnormal, leading to rapid fits/seizure episodes with unusual behaviour and loss of awareness. Fits/Seizure is a sudden rush of electrical activity in the brain. Lack of sleep, high fever, stress, bright lights, caffeine, certain medicines, alcohol, and skipping meals/overeating are a few of the most common triggers for seizures. The possible causes of epilepsy include traumatic brain injury, scarring on the brain after a brain injury, high fever, stroke, vascular diseases, lack of oxygen to the brain, brain tumours, and genetic disorders.
