• The active ingredient in Tegrital 200 MG tablet is carbamazepine, which exerts its medicinal activity by acting as an anticonvulsant and mood stabiliser. It works by regulating electrical activity in the brain and reducing abnormal firing of nerve signals that can lead to seizures in epilepsy or cause pain in trigeminal neuralgia. 
• Carbamazepine affects the activity of sodium channels in the body. It reduces the generation and transmission of electrical signals in the nerves. This is thought to happen by binding to a specific part of the sodium channels, which helps regulate their function and prevent excessive electrical activity in the brain.

• Drink an adequate amount of water throughout the day to stay hydrated. Dehydration can sometimes trigger or exacerbate symptoms, so ensure you get enough fluids.
• Pay attention to potential triggers for seizures or trigeminal neuralgia pain. These triggers can vary from person to person but may include stress, lack of sleep, certain foods, and specific environmental factors. Identify and minimise exposure to your triggers.
• Alcohol and certain drugs can interfere with the effectiveness of antiepileptic medications and may increase the risk of seizures. It is generally recommended to limit or avoid alcohol consumption and stay away from illicit drugs.
• Engage in stress-reducing activities such as exercise, meditation, deep breathing exercises, or hobbies you enjoy. High-stress levels can trigger seizures or worsen trigeminal neuralgia pain.
