Tegretol XR (active ingredient: carbamazepine) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Epilepsy: Tegretol XR is used for the treatment of various types of seizures in epilepsy, including partial seizures and generalized tonic-clonic seizures.
  2. Bipolar Disorder: It is indicated for the management of bipolar disorder, particularly to stabilize mood and prevent manic and depressive episodes.
  3. Trigeminal Neuralgia: Tegretol XR is also used to relieve pain associated with trigeminal neuralgia, a condition characterized by severe facial pain.

Tegretol XR belongs to a class of drugs known as anticonvulsants or mood stabilizers, which work by modulating electrical activity in the brain to control seizures and stabilize mood.

Carbamazepine comes as an extended-release tablet that is taken orally. The usual dose of the extended-release tablet is twice a day with meals. Swallow the extended-release tablets whole; do not split, chew, or crush them.

The recommended dosages of Carbamazepine can depend on several factors such as the condition being treated, patient age, and overall health. Here are some general guidelines based on information from various sources:

  • For adults, the initial dose is typically between 100mg to 200mg, taken 1 to 4 times a day. The dose may be gradually increased until the optimal dose is reached.
  • The maintenance dose should be the minimum effective dose for the condition. This is 800 to 1200mg per day.
  • Dosages for children and adolescents are lower than for adults and can depend on the weight of the patient.
  • The maximum recommended dose is usually 1600mg per day, but occasionally some patients may require higher doses.

Take Carbamazepine regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same time each day. Keep taking Carbamazepine even if you feel well.

To ensure that you do not miss a dose, take Carbamazepine at the same time each day. Take Carbamazepine exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Avoid taking more than the recommended dosage or increasing the frequency of use without consulting your physician.
