Tegrital 400 Tablet 10 contains Carbamazepine (400 Mg), which acts on the body as follows:

• Reducing Neuronal Activity: Carbamazepine decreases the abnormal and excessive activity of nerve cells in the brain. This helps manage seizures and relieve neuropathic pain.
• Stabilising Neuronal Membranes: Carbamazepine stabilises the membranes of neurons (nerve cells), which contributes to its efficacy in controlling seizures.
• Blocking Sodium Channels: By blocking sodium channels in nerve cells, Carbamazepine prevents repetitive firing of neurons, further aiding in seizure control.

• Store Tegrital 400 Tablet 10 at a temperature below 30°C.
• Keep it away from direct sunlight, heat and moisture to maintain its efficacy.
• Always keep this medicine out of reach of children to prevent accidental ingestion.
• Check the expiry date on the packet before using it.

• If you're dealing with epilepsy, try to maintain a regular sleep schedule. Lack of sleep can trigger seizures, so ensure you get enough rest.
• For those managing diabetic neuropathy, aim for a balanced diet with a focus on foods low in sugar and high in fibre. This can help regulate your blood sugar levels and minimise nerve damage.
