About Encorate Tablet
Encorate Tablet is a medication classified under anti-epileptics, used to manage epilepsy and bipolar disorder. The tablet works by regulating mood swings and abnormal brain signals that can cause seizures. It can also aid in the prevention of migraines. Encorate Tablet can either be taken alone or in combination with other medications, and the dosage will be determined by your doctor. It is essential to take the medication regularly as prescribed, even if you start feeling better, as abruptly stopping it can lead to increased risk of seizures or worsening of bipolar disorder.
Common side effects of Encorate Tablet include headache, nausea, dizziness, sleepiness, constipation, diarrhea, double vision, and weight gain. These side effects usually diminish over time, but it is important to inform your doctor if they persist. Prolonged use of this medication can potentially lead to osteoporosis, weakening your bones and increasing the risk of fractures. Prior to taking Encorate Tablet, disclose to your doctor any existing kidney or liver issues, meningitis, depression, or suicidal thoughts. Also, inform your healthcare provider about all other medications you are currently taking, as some may interact with Encorate Tablet.
Encorate Chrono 500 Tablet, another variant of the medication, falls under the category of anticonvulsants and is primarily utilized to treat epilepsy, mood disorders, and migraines.

Common side effects of Encorate Chrono 500 Tablet may include headache, sleepiness, drowsiness, impaired coordination, and weight gain. It is crucial not to take this medication during pregnancy due to the risk of serious congenital disabilities.
