Tegretol Cr 400Mg 30Tab

Tegretol is a medication used to treat epilepsy and certain types of nerve pain. It belongs to the class of anticonvulsant drugs and works by reducing abnormal electrical activity in the brain. It is also used to treat mood disorders such as bipolar disorder.

Tegretol (CARBAMAZEPINE) works by inhibiting sodium channels in nerve cells, which reduces the transmission of abnormal electrical signals. This helps to reduce seizures in epilepsy patients and alleviates pain caused by nerve inflammation. It also has mood-stabilizing effects, making it effective in treating psychiatric disorders.
