What is Tegretol used for?
Chemical Name: CARBAMAZEPINE (kar-ba-MAZ-e-peen)
Tegretol belongs to the group of medications known as an anticonvulsant. Anticonvulsants or anti-epileptic drugs are medications used for controlling and preventing seizures. A seizure is a health condition in which there is a sudden, uncontrollable electrical disturbance in one's brain. This sudden change causes one to face changes in their behavior, movements, and feelings. You can even lose your consciousness for some time. Having more than one seizure or having recurrent seizure means that you could have epilepsy.
Tegretol is used for controlling and preventing seizures. It also relieves certain types of nerve pains as well. This medication helps in reducing the spread of seizure activities in one's brain and helps in balancing out the nerve activities once again.
