Zen Retard-200 Tablet contains Carbamazepine (200 mg). Here's how it works:

• Stabilises overexcited nerve membranes: Carbamazepine reduces the abnormal electrical activity in the brain that causes seizures. It stabilises the overexcited nerve membranes, helping to manage seizures effectively.
• Inhibits repetitive neuronal firing: This medication inhibits repetitive neuronal firing. This action further helps in controlling seizures.
• Reduces synaptic propagation: Carbamazepine also reduces the synaptic propagation of seizure impulses. This contributes to the overall management of seizures.
• Blocks sodium channels: For managing trigeminal neuralgia pain, carbamazepine blocks sodium channels. This action inhibits the firing of hyperexcited neurons in the trigeminal nerve pathway, thereby reducing pain.
