Carbamazepine (Tegretol)
Carbamazepine is a prescription medication primarily used in the treatment of certain types of seizures, particularly focal seizures and generalized tonic-clonic seizures, which are common in epilepsy.
It belongs to a class of drugs known as anticonvulsants or antiepileptic drugs, which help to control seizures by reducing the abnormal electrical activity in the brain that causes them.
In addition to treating epilepsy, carbamazepine may also be prescribed for other conditions such as bipolar disorder, trigeminal neuralgia, and diabetic neuropathy.
- Carbamazepine has mood-stabilizing properties and is sometimes prescribed for bipolar disorder to help in controlling mania or mixed episodes.
- Trigeminal neuralgia is a chronic pain condition affecting the trigeminal nerve in the face. Carbamazepine can provide relief from the intense, stabbing pain typically associated with this condition.
- Diabetic neuropathy is a type of nerve damage that can occur in people with diabetes. Carbamazepine can help manage the neuropathic pain associated with diabetic neuropathy because of its ability to dampen nerve pain signals.
