✔️ Indication of Zeptol CR 200mg Tablet

Zeptol 200Mg Tablet Cr essentially treats nerve pain like trigeminal neuralgia as well as diabetic neuropathy. Moreover, the drug also effectively treats bipolar disorder. Zeptol 200Mg Tablet Cr functions as an anticonvulsant and decreases the occurrence of abnormal nerve impulses in the brain which can lead to severe reactions like seizures and acute pain.

✔️ Pharmacology

Carbamazepine works in the brain by inhibiting the activity in the thalamic nucleus ventralis. It also limits the spread of excitatory impulses at the synapses and reduces neuronal discharge by decreasing the influx of sodium ions across the cell membrane. These actions contribute to its anticonvulsant and mood-stabilizing effects, making it useful in the treatment of epilepsy and mood disorders.

Additionally, carbamazepine has an effect on the secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and its ability to promote water reabsorption in the kidneys. This can lead to increased water retention and help manage conditions like diabetes insipidus, where there is excessive thirst and urination due to impaired ADH function.
