Carbatol Cr 400 Mg Tablet 10 contains carbamazepine (400 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Stabilises nerve membranes: Carbamazepine reduces the abnormal electrical activity in your brain by blocking sodium channels in nerve cells, which helps prevent the rapid firing of nerve impulses that cause seizures.

• Inhibits nerve signals: It decreases the transmission of pain signals along certain nerve pathways, particularly in the trigeminal nerve, which helps reduce the severe facial pain associated with trigeminal neuralgia.

• Regulates brain chemistry: Carbamazepine helps maintain a balance of certain chemicals in your brain, which contributes to its effectiveness in managing both seizures and mood disorders like bipolar disorder.

• Prevents seizure spread: It stops seizure activity from spreading to other parts of the brain, helping to limit the severity and duration of seizure episodes.
