It is indicated for primary generalized epilepsy (absence, myoclonic, tonic-clonic seizures), partial epilepsy, and acute mania in bipolar disorder when lithium is contraindicated. The divisible tablets allow flexible dosing while maintaining steady plasma levels to reduce peak-related side effects. Effective as monotherapy or adjunctive therapy, it provides long-term seizure control and mood stabilization with good tolerability in most patients.
