Product Description

GAROIN is a fixed dose combination of Phenytoin and Phenobarbitone, two anticonvulsant medications used in the management of epilepsy and seizure disorders. Phenytoin acts by stabilizing the voltage-gated sodium channels, reducing excessive electrical activity in the brain.

This combination is prescribed to control and prevent seizures in individuals with epilepsy. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and frequency of administration as directed by your doctor to effectively manage seizures.
