• Never stop using this medicine abruptly without consulting your doctor first, as it may trigger seizures.

Carbin 200 MG Tablet 10 is taken orally.

Carbin 200 MG Tablet 10 contains carbamazepine (200 mg), which operates in the body as follows:

• Blocking Voltage-Gated Sodium Channels: Carbamazepine primarily works by blocking voltage-gated sodium channels in your neurons or nerve cells. This process serves to make the neurons less excitable, reducing their ability to sustain high-frequency repetitive firing.

• Decreasing Abnormal Electrical Impulses: By blocking these channels, carbamazepine effectively inhibits the generation of abnormal electrical impulses within the brain and decreases the spread of seizure activity.

• Influencing Other Neurotransmitters: Apart from its primary action on sodium channels, carbamazepine also influences neurotransmitters like adenosine and glutamate. These effects further contribute to its anticonvulsant and analgesic or pain-relieving properties.

• Keep Carbin 200 MG Tablet 10 at a cool room temperature.

• Protect the medicine from moisture; store it in a dry place.

• Avoid direct sunlight exposure.

• Always keep this medicine out of reach of children.

• Remember to use Mezapine before its expiry date.

• If you're taking Mezapine for epilepsy, try to have a balanced diet that's low in processed foods. This is because some processed foods may contain substances that can trigger seizures.

• For individuals managing trigeminal neuralgia with Mezapine, it's best to avoid extreme facial movements like wide yawning or chewing hard food. Gentle exercises for your face can help reduce discomfort.
