Overview Borphen 60mg Tablet

Phenobarbital 60mg tablets are classified as barbiturates, prescribed for epilepsy management and seizure prevention. Their sedative properties induce brain slowdown, potentially causing drowsiness or lightheadedness.

Adhere strictly to your physician's prescribed dosage and duration, as prolonged use can lead to dependence. Missed doses should be taken immediately upon recall; complete the entire treatment course regardless of symptom improvement. Common adverse reactions include nausea, diarrhea, hyperactivity, depression, cognitive impairment, hypotension, and tiredness. Drowsiness and dizziness may occur; avoid driving or mentally demanding tasks until the drug's effects are known.
