Description
Tegretol CR 400mg is a controlled-release prescription medication containing carbamazepine, an anticonvulsant and mood stabilizer.
Key Uses
• Epilepsy: Manages partial seizures and generalized tonic-clonic seizures.
• Trigeminal Neuralgia: Relieves severe facial nerve pain.
• Bipolar Disorder: Helps treat mania and prevent mood swings.
Important Safety & Administration Guidelines
• Swallow Whole: Do not crush, chew, or break the controlled-release tablets, as this damages the slow-release mechanism and releases the full dose at once.
• Do Not Stop Abruptly: Stopping the medication suddenly can trigger increased seizures or withdrawal symptoms; always follow a doctor’s tapering plan.
