Tegretol

Tegretol, also known as carbamazepine, is a medication primarily used to control seizures in epilepsy and to manage certain nerve pain conditions. It works by stabilizing electrical activity in the brain, helping prevent abnormal surges that cause seizures. Additionally, Tegretol can help regulate mood in some psychiatric conditions, such as bipolar disorder. It’s important to take it exactly as prescribed because it can have side effects and requires regular monitoring of blood levels to ensure safety and effectiveness. Always discuss any concerns or side effects with a healthcare provider.
