WHAT TRILEPTAL IS USED
FOR
Trileptal belongs to a group of
medicines called anticonvulsants or
antiepileptics. Trileptal is used in
adults and children to control some
types of epilepsy.
Epilepsy is a condition in which there
are repeated convulsions or seizures
(fits). Seizures happen because of a
temporary fault in the brain's
electrical system.
Normally, brain cells coordinate
body movements by sending out
signals through the nerves to the
muscles in an orderly way.
In epilepsy, brain cells send out too
many signals in a disorderly fashion.
The result can be uncoordinated
muscular activity that is called an
epileptic seizure.
Trileptal works by keeping the
brain's overexcitable nerve cells
under control, thereby, reducing the
frequency of seizures.
There are two main classes of
seizures: generalised and partial.
GENERALISED SEIZURES -
involve a wide area of the brain, and
can affect the whole body.

Tonic-clonic (or grand mal)
seizures are a sub-type of
generalised seizure in which th

4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
POSOLOGY
Trileptal is suitable for use either as monotherapy or in combination
with other antiepileptic drugs. In
mono- and adjunctive therapy, treatment with Trileptal is initiated
with a clinically effective dose given in
two divided doses (see CLINICAL STUDIES). The dose may be increased
depending on the clinical
response of the patient. When other antiepileptic drugs are replaced
by Trileptal, the dose of the
concomitant antiepileptic medicinal product(s) should be reduced
gradually on initiation of Trileptal
therapy. In adjunctive therapy, as the total antiepileptic drug load
of the patient is increased
