Uses
CARBAMAZEPINE is indicated for the treatment of epilepsy (partial and generalized tonic‑clonic seizures), trigeminal neuralgia (severe facial nerve pain), and bipolar disorder (as a mood stabilizer). By controlling abnormal nerve impulses, it helps reduce seizure frequency, relieve nerve pain, and stabilize mood swings in psychiatric conditions.

Dosage and Administration
The tablets should be taken orally, swallowed whole with water, and not chewed or crushed. Dosage depends on the patient’s condition, age, and response to treatment, and must always be adjusted under medical supervision. Treatment is usually started with a low dose and gradually increased to achieve optimal control.

Special Populations and Precautions
CARBAMAZEPINE should be used cautiously in patients with liver disease, kidney impairment, or heart conditions. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should only use it if clearly indicated by a physician, as carbamazepine may affect fetal development. It is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to carbamazepine or tricyclic antidepressants, and in those with bone marrow depression. Regular monitoring of blood counts and liver function is recommended during therapy.

Side Effects
Common Side Effects
Drowsiness, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, blurred vision, and unsteadiness are frequently reported. Some patients may also experience mild skin reactions or weight changes.
