Scientific Evidence

Pharmacological effects: Carbamazepine exerts its anticonvulsant effects by reducing sustained, high-frequency firing of neurons. It also acts as a mood stabilizer by modulating neurotransmitter release.

Clinical trials: Studies have shown that carbamazepine is effective in controlling seizures in patients with epilepsy and reducing the frequency of manic and depressive episodes in bipolar disorder.

Additional Information

It is important to regularly monitor blood counts and liver function tests while taking Mezacar to detect any potential side effects early. Avoid sudden discontinuation of the medication to prevent withdrawal symptoms.

Consult your healthcare provider before using Mezacar if you have any medical conditions or are taking other medications to avoid interactions.
