Mazetol SR 200 Tablet contains carbamazepine (200 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Nerve Stabilisation: Carbamazepine reduces abnormal electrical activity in the brain by blocking sodium channels in nerve cell membranes, preventing excessive nerve firing that can lead to seizures.

• Pain Signal Blockage: It interferes with the transmission of pain signals along the trigeminal nerve, helping to relieve the severe facial pain experienced in trigeminal neuralgia.

• Mood Regulation: Carbamazepine helps stabilise mood by decreasing nerve activation in specific areas of the brain responsible for emotional regulation, which is particularly beneficial for people with bipolar disorder.

• Store Mazetol SR 200 Tablet at room temperature below 30°C.

• Keep the container tightly closed to protect it from moisture.

• Store away from direct light.

• Keep all medicines out of reach and sight of children.

• If you have epilepsy, maintain a consistent sleep schedule as sleep deprivation can trigger seizures in some people.
