Tegrital 200mg Tablet contains Carbamazepine, an anticonvulsant medicine. It is primarily used to manage certain forms of epilepsy (fits or seizures) and trigeminal neuralgia, a painful condition affecting the face. This medicine can also help control the symptoms of bipolar disorder (manic depression) when other treatments haven't been effective. Bipolar disorder is characterized by alternating episodes of mania (periods of extreme happiness) and depression.
The active ingredient, Carbamazepine 200mg, works by reducing abnormal electrical activity in the brain, which helps to control seizures. It also blocks pain signals in the nervous system to relieve trigeminal neuralgia. Additionally, it helps stabilize mood by calming nerve cells in brain regions linked to mood changes. Your doctor may recommend blood tests before and during treatment with Tegrital 200mg Tablet to monitor your condition.
