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

  1. Epilepsy: Tegretol Chewables is used to manage and control seizures in various types of epilepsy, including partial seizures and generalized tonic-clonic seizures.
  2. Trigeminal Neuralgia: It is indicated for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia, a condition characterized by severe facial pain due to nerve irritation.
  3. Bipolar Disorder: Tegretol Chewables is also used in the management of bipolar disorder to stabilize mood and reduce the frequency of mood swings.

Tegretol Chewables belongs to a class of drugs known as anticonvulsants or mood stabilizers. It works by stabilizing electrical activity in the brain, which helps to prevent seizures and manage symptoms of bipolar disorder.

Carbamazepine comes as a chewable tablet taken by mouth to take usually taken two to four times a day with meals. If you are using chewable tablets (such as Tegretol Chewables), chew the tablets thoroughly before swallowing.

Avoid eating grapefruit or drinking grapefruit juice while using the tablet unless your doctor or pharmacist says you may do so safely. Grapefruit can increase the chance of side effects with the medicine. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more details.

The recommended dosage of Carbamazepine Chewable Tablets can vary depending on the condition being treated, the patient’s age and weight, and other factors.

  • The usual starting dose for adults with epilepsy is typically 200 milligrams (mg) twice a day, which may be increased as needed based on the individual’s response and tolerance.
  • For adults with epilepsy, the recommended starting dose is typically 200 milligrams (mg) twice a day, which may be increased as needed up to a maintenance dose of 800 to 1200 mg per day. For nerve pain, the recommended dosage is 600 mg to 800 mg per day. In the treatment of bipolar disorder, the recommended dosage is 400 mg to 600 mg per day.
  • For children, the dosage may be based on their weight and age. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose of 1200 mg/day. Additionally, because the chewable tablets may have different effects on blood levels than the same dose given as a tablet, start with a low dose and increase gradually as needed.
