Zebinix 800 mg Tablets

eslicarbazepine acetate

Read this package leaflet carefully before you start taking this medicine because it contains important information for you.

• Keep this package leaflet, as you may need to read it again.
• If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
• This medicine has been prescribed for you only. Do not pass it on to others even if they have the same symptoms as you, as it may harm them.
• If you experience any side effects, talk to your doctor or pharmacist. See section 4.

Zebinix contains the active ingredient eslicarbazepine acetate.

Zebinix belongs to a group of medications called antiepileptics, used to treat epilepsy, a disease where the affected person has seizures or repeated convulsive crises.

Zebinix is used:

• as a single medication (monotherapy) in adult patients with newly diagnosed epilepsy;
• in combination with other antiepileptic medications (adjunctive therapy) in adult, adolescent, and children over 6 years old who suffer from seizures (convulsions) affecting a part of the brain (partial seizures). These seizures may be followed or not by a seizure affecting the entire brain (secondary generalization).

Your doctor has prescribed Zebinix to reduce the number of seizures.

Do not take Zebinix:

• if you are allergic to eslicarbazepine acetate, other carboxamide derivatives (such as carbamazepine or oxcarbazepine, used for the treatment of epilepsy), or any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6);
• if you have a certain type of heart rhythm disorder (second- or third-degree atrioventricular (AV) block).

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take Zebinix.

Inform your doctor immediately:

• if you experience blisters or peeling of the skin and/or mucous membranes, rash, difficulty swallowing or breathing, swelling of the lips, face, eyelids, throat, or tongue. These may be signs of an allergic reaction;
• if you experience confusion, worsening of seizures, or decreased consciousness, which may be signs of low sodium levels in the blood.

Inform your doctor:

A small number of people taking antiepileptic medications have had thoughts of self-harm or suicide. If this occurs while taking Zebinix, contact your doctor immediately.

Zebinix may cause dizziness and/or disorientation, particularly at the start of treatment. Be extra careful while taking Zebinix to avoid accidental injuries, such as falls.

Be extra careful with Zebinix

In the post-marketing experience, severe skin reactions and potentially life-threatening reactions, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis, drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), have been reported in patients treated with Zebinix.

If you develop a severe rash or other skin symptoms (see section 4), stop taking Zebinix and consult your doctor or seek medical attention immediately.

In patients of Thai origin and the Han Chinese ethnic group, the risk of severe skin reactions associated with carbamazepine or chemically related compounds may be predicted by a blood test. Your doctor will advise you on the need for this blood test before taking Zebinix.

Children

Zebinix should not be administered to children under 6 years of age.

Taking Zebinix with other medications

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have taken recently, or may need to take any other medication. This is to ensure that none of them interfere with the way Zebinix works, or that Zebinix interferes with the effect of such medications. Inform your doctor if you are taking:

See the section “Pregnancy and breastfeeding” for recommendations on contraception.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Zebinix is not recommended for use during pregnancy, as the effects of Zebinix on pregnancy and the fetus are unknown.

If you plan to become pregnant, discuss this with your doctor before stopping your contraceptive method and before becoming pregnant. Your doctor may decide to change your treatment.

There is limited data on the use of eslicarbazepine acetate in pregnant women.

Research has shown an increased risk of congenital defects and neurological development problems (brain development) in children of women taking antiepileptic medications, particularly when taking more than one antiepileptic medication at a time.

If you are or think you may be pregnant, inform your doctor immediately. Do not stop taking your medication until you have discussed this with your doctor. Stopping your medication without consulting your doctor may cause seizures, which can be dangerous for you and your unborn child. Your doctor may decide to change your treatment.

If you are a fertile woman and do not plan to become pregnant, use an effective contraceptive method during treatment with Zebinix. Zebinix may affect the functioning of hormonal contraceptives, such as the birth control pill, and make them less effective in preventing pregnancy. Therefore, it is recommended to use other forms of safe and effective contraception while taking Zebinix.Discuss this with your doctor, who will discuss with you the type of contraceptive most suitable for use while taking Zebinix. If you stop taking Zebinix, continue using an effective contraceptive method until the end of the current menstrual cycle. If you take Zebinix during pregnancy, your baby may also be at risk of bleeding immediately after birth. Your doctor may give you and your baby a medication to prevent this.

Do not breastfeed while taking Zebinix. It is unknown whether it passes into breast milk.

Driving and operating machinery

Zebinix may cause dizziness, disorientation, and affect your vision, particularly at the start of treatment. If this occurs, do not drive or use any tools or machinery.

Follow exactly the administration instructions of this medication as indicated by your doctor. In case of doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist again.

Adults

Initial treatment dose

400 mg once a day for one or two weeks, before increasing to the maintenance dose. Your doctor will decide if you should take this dose for one or two weeks.

Maintenance dose

The usual maintenance dose is 800 mg once a day.

The dose may be increased to 1,200 mg once a day based on how you respond to Zebinix. If you are taking Zebinix alone (monotherapy), your doctor may consider increasing your dose to 1,600 mg once a day.

Patients with kidney problems

If you have kidney problems, you will usually be given a lower dose of Zebinix. Your doctor will determine the correct dose for you. Zebinix is not recommended if you have severe kidney problems.

Older adults (65 years and older)

If you are an older adult and taking Zebinix as monotherapy, the 1,600 mg dose is not suitable for you.

Children over 6 years old

Initial treatment dose

The initial dose is 10 mg per kg of body weight once a day for one or two weeks, before increasing to the maintenance dose.

Maintenance dose

The dose may be increased by 10 mg per kg of body weight, at intervals of one or two weeks, up to 30 mg per kg of body weight. The maximum dose is 1,200 mg once a day.

Children ≥ 60 kg

Children with a body weight of 60 kg or more should take the same dose as adults.

The oral suspension, another pharmaceutical form of the medication, may be more suitable for administration in children. Consult your doctor or pharmacist.

Form and route of administration

Zebinix is administered orally. Swallow the tablet with a glass of water.

Zebinix can be taken with or without food.

If you have difficulty swallowing the entire tablet, you can crush it and add it to a small amount of water or apple sauce to take it immediately.

The tablet can be divided into equal doses.

If you take more Zebinix than you should

If you accidentally take more Zebinix than you should, you are at risk of having more seizures; or you may feel that your heartbeat is irregular or faster. Contact your doctor or go immediately to a hospital if you experience any of these symptoms. Bring the medication packaging with you, so the doctor knows what you have taken.

If you forget to take Zebinix

If you forget to take a tablet, take it as soon as you remember and continue as usual. Do not take a double dose to make up for the missed doses.

If you interrupt treatment with Zebinix

Do not suddenly stop taking the tablets. If you do, you are at risk of having more seizures. Your doctor will decide for how long you should take Zebinix. If your doctor decides to stop your treatment with Zebinix, you will usually be gradually reduced the dose. It is essential that you complete the treatment as instructed by your doctor; otherwise, your symptoms may worsen.

If you have any other questions about the use of this medication, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
