Encorate Chrono 200 Tablet is primarily classified as an anticonvulsant or antiepileptic drug. Its main mechanism of action involves increasing the levels of a neurotransmitter called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain. GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter, which means it helps to reduce excessive and abnormal electrical activity in the brain. By enhancing GABA’s effects and potentially affecting other ion channels, Encorate Chrono helps stabilize neuronal activity, thus controlling seizures.
The “Chrono” in its name signifies its controlled-release nature, designed to provide a more stable blood concentration of the drug throughout the day, which can lead to better seizure control and potentially fewer side effects compared to immediate-release formulations.
It is typically prescribed to be taken with food to minimize gastrointestinal discomfort. The dosage is determined by a doctor and may be gradually increased until the desired therapeutic effect is achieved. It’s crucial to take this medication regularly as prescribed, even if symptoms improve, as sudden discontinuation can worsen the condition or trigger seizures.
Common side effects can include nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, drowsiness, tremor, weight gain, and temporary hair loss. More serious, though less common, side effects can include liver injury, pancreatitis, and changes in mood or behavior. Patients are advised to inform their doctor about any pre-existing liver or kidney problems, mental health conditions, or other medications they are taking, as Encorate Chrono can interact with various drugs. It is generally not recommended during pregnancy due to potential risks to the developing baby, and caution is advised during breastfeeding. Alcohol consumption should be avoided while on this medication.
