What is a Generic Drug?
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.

Description
What is Tegretol XR used for?
Tegretol XR belongs to the group of medications known as anticonvulsants. These drugs are helpful in controlling and preventing seizures. When one suffers from a seizure, there is a sudden, uncontrollable electrical disturbance in his brain. And this sudden change causes one to face changes in their behavior, movements, and their feelings. It can even cause you to become unconsciousness for some time. Having more than one seizure or having recurrent seizures is a sign that indicates that you could have epilepsy.
Tegretol XR is used for controlling and preventing seizures. This medication relieves certain types of nerve pains as well and helps in reducing the spread of seizure activities in the brain and balances out the nerve activities once again.
You can purchase this medicine online from Canada Pharmacy.
Directions
Once you are prescribed and buy Tegretol XR, then you'll have to take this medication orally and with some food twice a day.

For those who cannot swallow the tablet whole, you may sprinkle out its content into a tablespoon and swallow the drug at once, again do not chew the mixture. The dose depends on your condition and how well you are responding to the treatment. Your doctor may start off with a smaller dose and may gradually increase it.
