Ábendingar:

Tegretol is indicated for use as an anticonvulsant drug. Evidence supporting efficacy of Tegretol 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 Tegretol (see PRECAUTIONS, General). Tegretol is 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. Tegretol should not be used in patients with a history of previous bone marrow depression, hypersensitivity to the drug,

provider.

TEGRETOL can cause serious side effects, including:
1.
TEGRETOL may cause rare but serious skin rashes that may lead to
death. These serious skin
reactions are more likely to happen when you begin taking TEGRETOL
within the first four
months of treatment but may occur at later times. These reactions can
happen in anyone, but are
more likely in people of Asian descent. If you are of Asian descent,
you may need a genetic blood
test before you take TEGRETOL to see if you are at a higher risk for
serious skin reactions with
this medicine. Symptoms may include:
•
skin rash
•
hives
•
sores in your mouth
•
blistering or peeling of the skin
2.
TEGRETOL may cause rare but serious blood problems. Symptoms may

have a rash with these types
of reactions.
Call your healthcare provider right away if you have any of the

PRESCRIBING INFORMATION
WARNINGS
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 TEGRETOL. 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 TEGRETOL. PATIENTS TESTING POSITIVE FOR THE ALLELE SHOULD NOT BE
TREATED WITH TEGRETOL 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 TEGRETOL. 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
