Trileptal tablets are used to control partial epileptic seizures, whether accompanied by loss of consciousness or not. It is often prescribed as a single treatment, but it may also be used as part of a combined treatment with other antiepileptic drugs to achieve a better response in the patient. Trileptal is sometimes used to treat conditions related to mood disorders such as bipolar disorder.
Trileptal helps stabilize severe mood swings and reduce episodes of mania or severe depression. Trileptal's mechanism of action is to reduce hyperactivity by inhibiting sodium channels in nerve cells, which contributes to restoring normal nerve balance.
