Take control of your epilepsy and seizures. Seizure management has never been easier.
TAKE CONTROL TODAYThe medicine contained in Carbatrol, carbamazepine, is one of the most widely used and effective medicines for epilepsy treatment. It can be used alone or with other seizure medicines to control complex partial seizures and generalized tonic-clonic (grand mal) seizures. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States has approved it for these uses in people of all ages.
Carbamazepine was first approved for sale in the United States in 1974. (The Carbatrol form was approved in 1997.) Testing showed the greatest improvement in patients with complex partial seizures.
It also can be used to treat people who have both complex partial and generalized tonic-clonic seizures, or a mixture that includes other partial or generalized seizures.
