How does Carbamazepine work?

Carbamazepine is an anticonvulsant and mood stabilizer that works by stabilizing nerve cell membranes and reducing abnormal electrical activity in the brain through several mechanisms, including:

Stabilizing nerve cell membranes:

Carbatol 200 reduces the flow of sodium ions into nerve cells, which helps stabilize their membranes and decreases excessive nerve cell excitation.

Preventing the release of neurotransmitters:

Carbamazepine inhibits the release of certain excitatory neurotransmitters, such as glutamate, which play a key role in seizure activity.

Increasing GABA levels:

Carbamazepine stimulates the production of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), an inhibitory neurotransmitter that helps reduce nerve cell excitation.

What are the uses of Carbatol 200 mg tablets?
