Oxcarbazepine is an anticonvulsant medication commonly used to manage epilepsy and partial seizures. It works by stabilizing hyperexcited neural membranes and inhibiting repetitive neuronal firing through the modulation of voltage-gated sodium channels. Oxcarbazepine is also effective in reducing the frequency of seizures in both adults and children. With a favorable safety profile compared to similar drugs, it is widely studied for its neuroprotective effects and potential applications in mood disorders. Its active metabolite, licarbazepine, contributes significantly to its therapeutic efficacy.
