Take control of your epilepsy and seizures. Seizure management has never been easier.
TAKE CONTROL TODAYOften doctors find that medicines are useful for more than one purpose. It is legal to prescribe medicines for "off-label uses" even though the FDA has not formally approved such use.
Like Tegretol or Carbatrol, oxcarbazepine also can be used to treat a type of facial pain called trigeminal neuralgia (tic douloureux) and to stabilize mood in patients with bipolar (manic-depressive) disorder. Neither use is approved by the FDA.
