Terápiás javallatok:

Carbamazepine extended-release tablets are indicated for use as an anticonvulsant drug. Evidence supporting efficacy of carbamazepine extended-release tablets as an anticonvulsant was derived from active drug-controlled studies that enrolled patients with the following seizure types: - Partial seizures with complex symptomatology (psychomotor, temporal lobe). Patients with these seizures appear to show greater improvement than those with other types. - Generalized tonic-clonic seizures (grand mal). - Mixed seizure patterns which include the above, or other partial or generalized seizures. Absence seizures (petit mal) do not appear to be controlled by carbamazepine extended-release tablets (see PRECAUTIONS, General). Carbamazepine extended-release tablets are indicated in the treatment of the pain associated with true trigeminal neuralgia. Beneficial results have also been reported in glossopharyngeal neuralgia. This drug is not a simple analgesic and should not be used for the relief of trivial aches or pains

WARNING
SERIOUS DERMATOLOGIC REACTIONS AND HLA-B 1502 ALLELE
SERIOUS AND SOMETIMES FATAL DERMATOLOGIC REACTIONS, INCLUDING TOXIC
EPIDERMAL NECROLYSIS (TEN) AND STEVENS-JOHNSON SYNDROME (SJS), HAVE
BEEN REPORTED DURING TREATMENT WITH CARBAMAZEPINE. THESE REACTIONS
ARE ESTIMATED TO OCCUR IN 1 TO 6 PER 10,000 NEW USERS IN COUNTRIES
WITH MAINLY CAUCASIAN POPULATIONS, BUT THE RISK IN SOME ASIAN
COUNTRIES IS ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT 10 TIMES HIGHER. STUDIES IN
PATIENTS
OF CHINESE ANCESTRY HAVE FOUND A STRONG ASSOCIATION BETWEEN THE
RISK OF DEVELOPING SJS/TEN AND THE PRESENCE OF HLA-B 1502, AN
INHERITED ALLELIC VARIANT OF THE HLA-B GENE. HLA-B 1502 IS FOUND
ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY IN PATIENTS WITH ANCESTRY ACROSS BROAD AREAS OF
ASIA. PATIENTS WITH ANCESTRY IN GENETICALLY AT-RISK POPULATIONS
SHOULD BE SCREENED FOR THE PRESENCE OF HLA-B 1502 PRIOR TO INITIATING
TREATMENT WITH CARBAMAZEPINE. PATIENTS TESTING POSITIVE FOR THE
ALLELE SHOULD NOT BE TREATED WITH CARBAMAZEPINE UNLESS THE BENEFIT
CLEARLY OUTWEIGHS THE RISK (SEE WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS,
LABORATORY TESTS).
APLASTIC ANEMIA AND AGRANULOCYTOSIS
APLASTIC ANEMIA AND AGRANULOCYTOSIS HAVE BEEN REPORTED IN
ASSOCIATION WITH THE USE OF CARBAMAZEPINE. DATA FROM A POPULATION-
BASED CASE CONTROL STUDY DEMONSTRATE THAT THE RISK OF DEVELOPING
THESE REACTIONS IS 5 TO 8 TIMES GREATER THAN IN THE GENERAL
POPULATION. HOWEVER, THE OVERALL RISK OF THESE REACTIONS IN THE
UNTREATED GENERAL POPULATION IS LOW, APPROXIMATELY SIX PATIENTS PER
ONE MILLION POPULATION PER YEAR FOR AGRANULOCYTOSIS AND TWO
PATIENTS PER ONE MILLION POPULATION PER YEAR FOR APLASTIC ANEMIA.
ALTHOUGH REPORTS OF TRANSIENT OR PERSISTENT DECREASED PLATELET OR
WHITE BLOOD CELL COUNTS ARE NOT UNCOMMON IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE
USE OF CARBAMAZEPINE, DATA ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO ESTIMATE ACCURATELY
THEIR INCIDENCE OR OUTCOME. HOWEVER, THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE CASES
OF LEUKOPENIA HAVE NOT PROG
