Product Introduction

Tegrital 400 Tablet is an anti-epileptic medication used to manage epilepsy and to treat other neurological conditions such as trigeminal neuralgia (a painful condition affecting the face, head, and neck) and diabetic neuropathy (nerve pain due to diabetes). It works by stabilizing electrical activity in the brain, which helps prevent seizures and control nerve pain.

Salt Composition:

• Carbamazepine (400mg)

How Tegrital 400 Tablet Works:

Tegrital 400 contains Carbamazepine (400mg), which is an anticonvulsant or antiepileptic drug. It works by:

• Decreasing abnormal and excessive activity of nerve cells in the brain, which helps prevent seizures (fits) in epilepsy.
• Relieving nerve pain by inhibiting nerve impulses that cause discomfort, which is particularly useful for conditions like trigeminal neuralgia and diabetic neuropathy.

How to Use Tegrital 400 Tablet:

• Dosage: Take Tegrital 400 Tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The dose and frequency will be adjusted to suit your individual needs.
• Timing: Take the medicine at the same time every day to ensure consistent levels in your body. It can be taken with or without food.
• Regularity: It’s crucial to continue taking the medicine even if you feel well. Missing doses or stopping abruptly can trigger a seizure or worsen your condition.
• Swallow the tablet whole without crushing, chewing, or breaking it.
