Carbamazepine is an anticonvulsant that stabilises sodium channels in nerve cells, calming the bursts of electrical activity that drive seizures and certain types of nerve pain.

Swallow the tablet whole with water, preferably with food, as prescribed by your doctor. Do not crush, split, or chew the sustained-release tablet.

• Drowsiness and dizziness
• Nausea or vomiting
• Blurred or double vision
• Skin rash
• Unsteady walking

Mention any liver, kidney, heart, or bone marrow issues, and earlier skin reactions to medicines. Avoid alcohol. Use cautiously in pregnancy and breastfeeding. Do not stop suddenly as this may trigger seizures.

Store below 25 degrees C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight. Keep in the original pack and out of reach of children.
