WHAT TEGRETOL IS USED
FOR
•
Tegretol has several uses:
•
to control epilepsy, a condition in
which there are repeated seizures
(fits). There are many different
•
types of seizures, ranging from
mild to severe.
•
to control sudden, repeated
attacks of facial pain, known as
trigeminal neuralgia
•
to control mania, a mental
condition with episodes of
overactivity, elation or irritability
•
to control bipolar mood disorder
where periods of mania alternate
with periods of depression.
Tegretol belongs to a group of
medicines called anticonvulsants.
These medicines are thought to work
by regulating the way messages in
the brain are passed on by nerves so
that seizures do not happen. Tegretol
also regulates other nerve functions
in the body.
Tegretol may be used alone or in
combination with other medicines to
treat your condition.
ASK YOUR DOCTOR IF YOU HAVE ANY
