What is Carbamazepin (Carbamazepine)?

Epilepsy Carbamazepine is indicated for use as an anticonvulsant drug. Evidence supporting efficacy of carbamazepine as an anticonvulsant was derived from active drug-controlled studies that enrolled patients with the following seizure types: Partial seizures with complex symptomatology . Patients with these seizures appear to show greater improvement than those with other types. Generalized tonic-clonic seizures . Mixed seizure patterns which include the above, or other partial or generalized seizures. Absence seizures do not appear to be controlled by carbamazepine. Trigeminal Neuralgia Carbamazepine is indicated in the treatment of the pain associated with true trigeminal neuralgia. Beneficial results have also been reported in glossopharyngeal neuralgia. This drug is not a simple analgesic and should not be used for the relief of trivial aches or pains.
