Active Ingredient & Action
Phenobarbital, the active ingredient in EPIPHEN 60MG, acts as a central nervous system depressant. It binds to GABA receptors, enhancing the effect of the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which results in sedative, hypnotic, and antiepileptic effects.
Important Notes
It is essential to use EPIPHEN 60MG only as directed by a healthcare professional. Misuse or overuse of Phenobarbital can lead to dependence, tolerance, and withdrawal symptoms. Patients should be closely monitored for signs of overdose, such as drowsiness, confusion, and respiratory depression. Concomitant use with other central nervous system depressants, including alcohol, may increase the risk of adverse effects.
