Stopping suddenly can cause serious problems. In Alcohol withdrawal ELCION 10MG TABLET CR is a medicine used, along with social support and counseling, to help people recover from alcohol addiction and to avoid having the urge to drink alcohol again. ELCION 10MG TABLET CR starts working from the very first dose and is a very safe and effective way of treating alcohol addiction. In Muscle spasm ELCION 10MG TABLET CR effectively relieves muscle stiffness or spasm, thereby improving muscle movement. Take it as prescribed by the doctor to get the most benefit.

This will help you to go about your daily activities more easily and have a better, more active, quality of life. In Epilepsy ELCION 10MG TABLET CR slows down electrical signals in the brain which cause seizures (fits). It can also help reduce symptoms such as confusion, uncontrollable jerking movements, loss of awareness, and fear or anxiety. The medicine can allow you to do some activities that you would otherwise be forbidden or scared to do (such as swimming and driving). It can take a few weeks for this medicine to work (because the dose has to be increased slowly) and during this time you may still have seizures.

Benefits: Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Swallow it as a whole. Do not chew, crush or break it. ELCION 10MG TABLET CR may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.
