Zeptol 200 Tablet contains carbamazepine (200 mg) and it works on the body in the following ways:

• Reduction of Polysynaptic Responses: Carbamazepine helps in reducing polysynaptic responses, which are multiple signals between nerve cells. This action aids in managing seizure activity.

• Blocking Post-Tetanic Potentiation: Carbamazepine can block post-tetanic potentiation, an increase in synaptic strength following high-frequency stimulation. The blocking action contributes to seizure control.

• Decreasing Abnormal Electrical Impulses: This medication decreases abnormal electrical impulses in the brain. By doing so, it helps control seizures.

• Pain Management: Carbamazepine has an analgesic effect which is useful in managing pain associated with conditions like trigeminal neuralgia. It's important to note that this pain-relieving action is separate from its anticonvulsant effect.
