Tegretol (active ingredient: carbamazepine) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Epilepsy: Tegretol is used alone or in combination with other medications to treat seizures associated with epilepsy.
  2. Trigeminal Neuralgia: Tegretol is indicated for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia, a condition characterized by sudden, severe facial pain.

Tegretol belongs to a class of drugs known as anticonvulsants or anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs), which works by stabilizing electrical activity in the brain and reducing abnormal electrical activity that can lead to seizures or nerve pain.

Tegretol should be taken exactly as prescribed by a healthcare professional, typically one to four times per day depending on the condition being treated. It can be taken with or without food but should be taken at the same time every day to maintain consistent levels in the bloodstream.

To use carbamazepine, you should take it by mouth with food as directed by your doctor. If you are using chewable tablets, you should chew them thoroughly before swallowing. The dosage of carbamazepine may vary based on factors such as age, medical condition, and response to treatment, and your doctor may adjust your dose as needed. Follow all directions on your prescription label and any instructions provided by your healthcare provider. If you have any questions about how to use carbamazepine or concerns about its potential side effects, you should talk to your doctor.

The recommended dosage of carbamazepine may vary based on factors such as age, medical condition, and response to treatment. However, here are some general dosing guidelines:

  • For adults: The maintenance dose range is typically between 400-800 mg per day, taken orally in divided doses.
  • For children: The dosage should not exceed 1000 mg daily in children 12 to 15 years of age, and 1200 mg daily in patients above 15 years of age.
  • Doses up to 1600 mg may be used in certain circumstances.

Dosages should be started low and increased gradually over several weeks until the effective dose is reached. Drug level monitoring may be useful for dose selection, and adjustments may be made in consultation with a healthcare provider.
