TegretolCLASS and MECHANISM of Action Generic Tegretol is an anticonvulsant and mood stabilizing drug, used primarily in the treatment of epilepsy and bipolar disorder. It is also used to treat ADD, ADHD, schizophrenia and trigeminal neuralgia. The mechanism of action of Generic Tegretol and its derivatives is relatively well understood. Voltage-gated sodium channels are the molecular pores that allow brain cells (neurons) to generate action potentials, the electrical events that allow neurons to communicate over long distances. After the sodium channels open, to start the action potential, they inactivate, essentially closing the channel. Generic Tegretol stabilizes the inactivated state of sodium channels, meaning that fewer of these channels are available to open, making brain cells less excitable. Generic Tegretol is an anti-seizure medication. Recurrent seizures (epilepsy) are divided into two main categories according to how much of the brain is involved, partial and generalized epilepsy (which includes petit mal, grand mal, and myoclonic epilepsy). Seizures are called "simple" if there is no loss of consciousness and "complex" if there is. Medicines that inhibit seizures are called anti-convulsants. Generic Tegretol works as an anti-convulsant for partial and grand mal seizures by reducing or blocking certain responses in the brain. It is also used for treating trigeminal neuralgia.
Active Ingredients: carbamazepine Inactive Ingredients: cellulose compounds, dextrates, iron oxides, magnesium stearate, mannitol, polyethylene glycol, sodium lauryl sulfate. What is Generic "Tegretol" PRESCRIBED For? Generic Tegretol is used in the treatment of simple and complex partial seizures and in generalized seizures of the grand mal type. It is not used to treat petit mal seizures. Generic Tegretol also is used to treat a painful nerve condition of the face called trigeminal neuralgia. Equetrol is used to treat bipolar disorder.
How Should I Take Generic "Tegretol"? Generic Tegretol should be taken with meals whenever possible. Take this medication exactly as it was prescribed for you. Do not take the medication in larger amounts, or take it for longer than recommended by your doctor. Your doctor may occasionally change your dose to make sure you get the best results from this medication. Do not stop taking the medication even if you feel better. It is important to take Tegretol regularly to prevent seizures from recurring. Get your prescription refilled before you run out of medicine completely. Call your doctor promptly if this medicine does not seem to be working as well in preventing your seizures. It may take up to 4 weeks of using this medicine before your symptoms improve. Do not stop using Tegretol without first talking to your doctor, even if you feel better. You may have increased seizures or unpleasant side effects if you stop using Tegretol suddenly.
Store Tegretol at room temperature. Keep the container tightly closed. Protect the tablets from light and moisture. Keep the liquid suspension away from light What are the CONTRAINDICATIONS for taking Generic "Tegretol"? Should not be administered to patients with a history of hepatic disease, acute intermittent porphyria or serious blood disorder. Generic Tegretol should not be administered immediately before, in conjunction with, or immediately after an MAO inhibitor. When it seems desirable to administer Generic Tegretol to a patient who has been receiving an MAO inhibitor, there should be as long a drug-free interval as the clinical condition allows, but in no case should this be less than 14 days. Then the dosage of Generic Tegretol should be low initially, and increased very gradually.
Generic Tegretol should not be administered to patients presenting AV heart block (see Pharmacology and Precautions). Generic Tegretol should not be administered to patients with known hypersensitivity to Generic Tegretol or to any of the tricyclic compounds, such as amitriptyline, trimipramine, imipramine, or their analogues or metabolites, because of the similarity in chemical structure. What Happens if I MISS A DOSE? Take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the one you missed and go back to your regular schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once. If you miss more than 1 dose in a day, check with your doctor.
What happens if I OVERDOSE? If you suspect an overdose, seek medical attention immediately. The first signs and symptoms of an overdose of Tegretol appear after 1 to 3 hours. The most prominent signs of a Tegretol overdose include: Coma, convulsions, dizziness, drowsiness, inability to urinate, involuntary rapid eye movements, irregular or reduced breathing, absence or low production of urine, lack of coordination, low or high blood pressure, muscular twitching, nausea, pupil dilation, rapid heartbeat, restlessness, severe muscle spasm, shock, tremors, unconsciousness, vomiting, writhing movements
What are the possible SIDE EFFECTS of Generic "Tegretol"? Serious side effects include dangerously low red and white blood cell counts. Severe skin reactions can occur as well as serious liver abnormalities, such as hepatitis, resulting in jaundice. Low sodium levels and thyroid abnormalities have been described. Minor more common side effects include dizziness, unsteadiness, nausea, and vomiting. Rare patients with Asian ancestry rarely may develop severe skin reactions to Generic Tegretol (Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis). These patients can be identified by genetic testing, and such testing is recommended for all Asian patients before starting therapy.
