Carbamazepine? Carbamazine is a common misspelling of carbamazepine.
Carbamazepine (Carbatrol®, Epitol®, Equetro®, Tegretol®) is a medication that can be prescribed to treat conditions such as epilepsy, trigeminal neuralgia, and bipolar disorder. It is believed to work by blocking the nerve signals that cause pain, decreasing the activity of nerve cells, and affecting several different brain chemicals. Various carbamazepine products are available, including extended-release capsules, regular and extended-release tablets, chewable tablets, and a liquid version. Potential side effects include vomiting, drowsiness, and unsteadiness.
