CARBASET 200 mg Tablets:
Generic Name: Carbamazepine 200 mg .
Pharmacological Family: Anticonvulsant / Antiepileptic
Product Description: CARBASET 200 mg is a formulation intended for the management of selected neurological conditions when prescribed by a healthcare professional. If the active ingredient is carbamazepine, it works by stabilizing overactive nerve cell membranes and reducing abnormal electrical activity in the brain.
Indications: Carbamazepine is used in the treatment of certain types of epilepsy, including focal seizures and generalized tonic-clonic seizures. It is also indicated for trigeminal neuralgia and may be prescribed for acute manic or mixed episodes associated with bipolar disorder in selected patients.
Clinical Benefits: Carbamazepine helps control certain seizure types by reducing excessive neuronal activity. In trigeminal neuralgia, it can help relieve episodes of severe facial nerve pain. In selected patients with bipolar disorder, it may help stabilize mood when prescribed and monitored appropriately.
Mechanism of Action: Carbamazepine primarily blocks voltage-gated sodium channels, stabilizing hyperexcited neuronal membranes and reducing repetitive nerve firing.
Dosage and Administration: Each tablet contains 200 mg, if confirmed on the label. The dose and frequency depend on the indication, age, clinical response, and other medicines being used. Treatment is generally initiated at a low dose and adjusted gradually by the prescribing physician. Do not start, stop, or change the dose without medical advice.

Drug Interactions: Carbamazepine interacts with numerous medicines, including some anticoagulants, hormonal contraceptives, antibiotics, antifungals, and other antiepileptic drugs. A healthcare professional should review all concurrent medicines.
Use in Pregnancy: Carbamazepine may pose risks to an unborn baby. Anyone who is pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding should consult a specialist before treatment. Do not abruptly discontinue antiepileptic treatment.
