Eslizen 400mg

Hi Madhu,

My dad was taking Tegretol for last 2 years (for his siezures occuring once in 3 months). Accidently he overtook the tablet and consumed it for 2 years.

Now when he takes Tegretol...he suffers from headache and dizziness...After changing the doctor...the new doctor has prescribed Eslizen 400 and he is now feeling good. Overall based on my dad's results...I feel Eslizen 400mg is a good tablet. Hope this information helps you.

Regards
