CB-Tol CR 400 Tablet contains carbamazepine (400 mg), and its activity in your body can be summarised as follows:

• Stabilises Hyperexcited Nerve Membranes: Carbamazepine helps to stabilise the membranes of nerves that are excessively excited. This means it calms down the nerves that are overly active.

• Inhibits Neuronal Firing: Overactive neurons in your brain can cause seizures. Carbamazepine works by preventing these neurons from firing repetitively.

• Reduces Synaptic Propagation: Carbamazepine reduces the spread of excitatory impulses between synapses, the junctions between two nerve cells. This helps in controlling seizures and reducing pain in conditions like trigeminal neuralgia.

• Prevents Kindling: In the context of epilepsy, "kindling" refers to the process whereby repeated stimulation leads to an irreversible increase in seizure activity. Carbamazepine helps prevent this process.

• Inhibits Monoamine Neurotransmitter Release: Although the exact mechanism of bipolar disorder isn't fully understood, it is believed that carbamazepine may manage symptoms by inhibiting the release of monoamine neurotransmitters, which are chemicals that transmit signals in the brain. This can help in stabilising mood in individuals with bipolar I disorder.

• Keep CB-Tol CR 400 Tablet in its original packaging to protect from light and moisture.

• Store at room temperature, ideally between 15-30°C.

• Place it out of reach and sight of children.

• Ensure you take the medicine before the expiry date printed on the package.

• If you have epilepsy, try to maintain a regular sleep pattern. Disrupted sleep can sometimes trigger seizures, so getting enough rest is crucial.

• For those managing trigeminal neuralgia, avoid consuming hot or cold food and beverages as extreme temperatures might provoke pain.
