TEGRETOL CR 400 mg (Controlled Release) – 20 tablets – is a slow-release form of carbamazepine, used to maintain stable blood levels over time, reducing dosing frequency and side effects.

🧠 What Is It Used For?

Same core uses as regular Tegretol, but with better control:

  1. Epilepsy

    • For partial and generalized tonic-clonic seizures.

    • NOT used for absence or myoclonic seizures.

  2. Trigeminal Neuralgia

    • Relieves facial nerve pain.

  3. Bipolar Disorder

    • Used as a mood stabilizer, particularly for manic episodes.

  4. Neuropathic pain

    • Sometimes used off-label for nerve-related pain.

💊 Controlled Release (CR) Benefits:

  • Longer-lasting effect: Twice-daily dosing instead of 3–4 times.

  • Fewer fluctuations in blood levels = fewer side effects.

  • Improved patient compliance.

📋 Usual Adult Dosage (Example):

Condition Starting Dose Maintenance Dose
Epilepsy 200–400 mg/day (in 1–2 doses) 800–1200 mg/day (in 2 doses)
Trigeminal Neuralgia 100 mg twice daily 400–800 mg/day (max 1200 mg)
Bipolar Disorder 200–400 mg/day Up to 1000 mg/day

⚠️ Doses must be individualized and increased gradually under medical supervision.
