Tegretol CR works primarily by affecting the electrical activity in the brain and nervous system. Tegretol CR is one of the main medications used to treat certain types of epileptic seizures, as it helps reduce abnormal electrical activity in the brain and contributes to reducing the severity and frequency of seizures.
Tegretol CR is used to relieve the severity of pain resulting from inflammation or disorder of the trigeminal nerve, which may be accompanied by sudden, severe, and recurring pain. The medication is used as part of a treatment plan to control manic and depressive episodes in patients suffering from bipolar disorder, as it contributes to achieving mood stability.
