Hi,

Oxetol contains the active ingredient Oxcarbazepine. It does cause all the above-mentioned side effects of memory difficulties, confusion, sleepiness, unstable moods, weakness, decreased co-ordination, muscle pains.

It does not cause increased seizures but decreases the occurrence of seizures.

The drug is used as monotherapy in Partial seizures.

Hope this helps.
