WHAT TERIL IS USED FOR
Teril is used to:
•
control epilepsy, a condition
where you have repeated seizures
(fits)
•
treat trigeminal neuralgia, where
there are sudden, repeated attacks
of facial pain
•
control mania, a mental condition
with episodes of overactivity,
elation or irritability
•
prevent bipolar mood disorder
where periods of mania alternate
with periods of depression.
Teril belongs to a group of medicines
called anticonvulsants. These

do not happen. Teril also regulates
other nerve functions in the body.

PHARMACOLOGY
PHARMACODYNAMICS
Pharmacotherapeutic groups: antiepileptic, neurotropic and
psychotropic agent.
ATC code: N03 AF01
ANTIEPILEPTIC AGENT
Carbamazepine as an antiepileptic agent has been shown to be effective
in the treatment of partial seizures
(simple and complex) with and without secondary generalisation,
generalised tonic-clonic seizures and
combinations of these seizure types.
In some clinical studies carbamazepine, given as monotherapy to
patients with epilepsy, including children and
adolescents, has been reported to exert a mild psychotropic action,
including a beneficial effect on attentiveness
and cognitive performance and on symptoms of anxiety and depression,
as well as a decrease in irritability and
aggressiveness. Other studies have not confirmed these findings.
