Carbamazepine

Carbamazepine is an anticonvulsant medication primarily used to treat epilepsy, a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures. It works by stabilizing electrical activity in the brain, thereby reducing the frequency and severity of seizures. Carbamazepine is also effective in managing certain types of nerve pain, such as trigeminal neuralgia and neuropathic pain. It may be prescribed as a single ingredient or in combination with other medications, depending on the individual’s condition and needs. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and monitor for potential side effects, as carbamazepine can interact with other medications and affect liver function. Always consult with a healthcare professional before starting or adjusting any medication regimen.
