Carbin Sr 200 MG Tablet 6 is taken orally.

Carbin Sr 200 MG Tablet 6 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 Sr 200 MG Tablet 6 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.
