Tegretol CR 200 mg is the controlled-release version of carbamazepine, providing smooth 12-hour coverage with reduced fluctuations in blood levels compared to immediate-release tablets. It is indicated for partial and generalized tonic-clonic seizures, trigeminal neuralgia (first-line), and prevention of manic-depressive episodes in bipolar disorder when lithium is unsuitable. The divisible, prolonged-release tablets allow easy dose titration while improving tolerability and patient compliance. Benefits • Effective control of focal and generalized seizures • Gold-standard treatment for trigeminal neuralgia • Proven mood stabilizer in bipolar disorder • Twice-daily dosing (more convenient than 3–4 times with regular Tegretol) • Fewer side effects (dizziness, nausea) due to steady release • Divisible tablet for precise dose adjustment (100 mg increments) • Over 50 years of clinical experience How to Use • Take exactly as prescribed (usually twice daily) • Swallow whole or break in half along the score line – do not crush or chew • Take with or after food to reduce stomach upset • Usual adult maintenance dose: 400–1200 mg/day in two divided doses • Regular blood tests required (CBC, liver function, carbamazepine levels) • Never stop suddenly – risk of seizure breakthrough or mania • Avoid grapefruit juice and alcohol
