Epilepsy is a central nervous system condition characterised by a sudden surge of electrical activity in the brain that causes seizures, fits, strange behaviour, and loss of consciousness. Uses of Garoin tablets include preventing seizures by reducing abnormal and excessive brain nerve cell activity.

There are two types of epilepsy: generalised seizures (affecting the entire brain) and partial seizures (affecting only a certain part of the brain). You can take Garoin tablets with or without food. Depending on your medical condition, you should take a Garoin tablet for as long as your doctor has prescribed it. Garoin tablets, like all medicines, have side effects. However, not everyone experiences them. Most of these adverse effects do not necessitate medical intervention and will subside with time. Please seek medical care if these side effects last for more than a week.

It boosts GABA activity (gamma-aminobutyric acid), a chemical messenger in the brain. GABA helps to lessen the abnormal brain activity that happens during a seizure.

Phenytoin successfully suppresses jerking motions and muscle spasms during seizures known as grand mal fits....
