Mazetol 100 Tablet contains carbamazepine (100 mg), which acts on your body through the following actions:

• Stabilises Overactive Nerve Impulses: Carbamazepine works to stabilise the overactive nerve impulses in your brain that trigger seizures and pain signals.

• Blocks Sodium Channels: By blocking sodium channels, carbamazepine decreases the excitability of neurons, which prevents the abnormal spread of electrical activity in the brain.

• Restores Normal Balance of Nerve Activity: Carbamazepine helps to restore the normal balance of nerve activity in your brain, managing seizures and alleviating nerve pain effectively.

• Store Mazetol 100 Tablet in a tight, light-resistant container.

• If you're managing seizures or epilepsy with Mazetol 100 Tablet, it can be beneficial to maintain a regular sleep schedule. Adequate sleep can help reduce the frequency of seizures.
