Trileptal

Novartis have informed us that there has been a change to Trileptal tablets (oxcarbazepine). They were previously all yellow. The changes are now as follows:

  • Trileptal 150 mg tablets - pale grey green
  • Trileptal 300 mg tablets - yellow (remains unchanged)
  • Trilpetal 600 mg tablets - light pink

They say that the reason for the changes were to make it easier for patients to identify the different strengths of tablets. There is no change in the absorption of the products (it does not affect how it works).
