Hi ,
Oxetol is Tab . Oxcarbazepine. It is not a safe medicine when trying for & during pregnancy.
For the sake of baby you better meet a neurologist & change the medicine to a safer one. There are safer ones available in the market. Once you take this & get pregnant baby stands a risk of irreversible anomalies. As you have time change it now & continue during pregnancy. You may need to change the dosages of any medicine in pregnancy.
All the best & happy married life in advance
