What are the Indications for CARBAMAZEPINE?
- INDICATIONS AND USAGE Epilepsy Epitol (carbamazepine tablets) is indicated for use as an anticonvulsant drug. Evidence supporting efficacy of Epitol (carbamazepine tablets) as an anticonvulsant was derived from active drug-controlled studies that enrolled patients with the following seizure types: Partial seizures with complex symptomatology (psychomotor, temporal lobe). Patients with these seizures appear to show greater improvement than those with other types. Generalized tonic-clonic seizures (grand mal). Mixed seizure patterns which include the above, or other partial or generalized seizures. Absence seizures (petit mal) do not appear to be controlled by Epitol (carbamazepine tablets) (see PRECAUTIONS, General ). Trigeminal Neuralgia Epitol (carbamazepine tablets) is indicated in the treatment of the pain associated with true trigeminal neuralgia. Beneficial results have also been reported in glossopharyngeal neuralgia. This drug is not a simple analgesic and should not be used for the relief of trivial aches or pains.
