In addition to managing epilepsy, it is also effective for relieving trigeminal neuralgia - a form of severe facial nerve pain. It helps to decrease the nerve impulses that carry pain signals, thus reducing the discomfort associated with this condition.

Tegrital Suspension contains Carbamazepine (100 MG) and it works in the body as follows:

Managing Epilepsy: Carbamazepine reduces abnormal electrical activity in the brain that triggers seizures. It restores the balance of nerve activity, thus controlling epilepsy-related symptoms like jerking movements and loss of awareness.
Relieving Trigeminal Neuralgia: In cases of trigeminal neuralgia, carbamazepine blocks the transmission of pain signals along the nerve pathway in the face. It decreases thalamic potential and bulbar polysynaptic nerve reflexes, thereby mitigating severe facial pain.
