More facts about Generic Tegretol (Carbamazepine 200 mg):

What is the preparation sold as Generic Tegretol?

Tegretol is a brand name of the medicine manufactured by large Swiss pharmaceutical company Novartis International AG. However, the same preparation is also produced by other pharmaceutical companies of different sizes. These drug makers are obliged to register the new names for their medicines though they use the same formula and ingredients for their preparations. Not to remember multiple names, you can just look for Generic Tegretol and you will find the cheap version of the branded medication.

Generic Tegretol and the branded medicine are both based on the active substance called Carbamazepine, an antiepileptic drug from the group of carboxamide derivatives. It is used for various conditions accompanied by seizures and neurological pain. The active substance is known since long ago. It was first synthesized in 1953. When the medication was first developed it was used as a therapy for trigeminal neuralgia but later its wider spectrum of activity was discovered and nowadays the medications based on it are used for a variety of conditions.

Since the active agent of the branded medicine is known for a long time, it’s no surprise that multiple pharmaceutical companies are able to manufacture it. The exclusive patent of the first manufacturer had expired long ago. Yet the branded medicine is still much more expensive than so-called generics. But there is no point of paying more money for the pills as long as their active substance is the same as the active ingredient of the medication you are offered when you buy Generic Tegretol.

Is Generic Tegretol less effective than the branded medicine? Why is it cheaper?

First of all, no, the generic version of the medicine is no way less effective or safe than the branded medication. As we have already mentioned, the formula for the preparation is known for more than 60 years already which allows different pharmaceutical companies around the world use it for the production of their medications. For your peace of mind, remember that not a single medication can be launched onto the market before it underwent all necessary tests for safety, effectiveness, and in case with the generics, also the compliance to the original formula.

As for the lower price, all branded medicines, especially those that are marketed in the U.S., are more expensive than other drugs with the same composition. Though it can be somehow reasonable for the innovative medications that their price is high, with such drugs as Carbamazepine there is absolutely no point in paying for the brand name more money. The actual price of the branded medicine equals to the price of an average generic on the market yet it is artificially raised to make people believe that this particular medicine is more effective.

When should you consider buying Generic Tegretol?

The indications for the pills use are epilepsy, neuralgia of the glossopharyngeal nerve, idiopathic neuralgia, trigeminal neuralgia in multiple sclerosis, and alcohol withdrawal syndrome.

Sometimes the preparation is used for the therapy of mental disorders such as acute manic states; supportive therapy for bipolar affective disorders with the purpose of preventing exacerbations or for alleviating clinical manifestations of exacerbation.

The preparation can be used as a single medication or as a part of combination therapy.

Since the generic medication is identical to the branded medicine Tegretol, it safe to say that if your health care provider prescribes you the branded medicine you can buy Generic Carbamazepine without any doubts. However, if you have the conditions for which the medication is indicated yet your doctor didn’t tell you about this medicine, probably there are some reasons for that such as your individual features, chronic conditions, and so on. Please consult your doctor before you purchase the medication from our online drugstore even though we sell it without a prescription.

Who must not use the preparation?

Even if you have any of the conditions listed above and plan to use the medication for them, you should not buy Tegretol or its generic if you have one or several conditions listed below:
- Allergy or hypersensitivity to the medication’s components including intolerance to the medicines similar to it, for instance, tricyclic antidepressants;
- Atrioventricular block;
- Bone marrow depression;
- Hepatic porphyria.

What medications you should not use along with Carbamazepine?

You should not buy Carbamazepine and use it if you are using MAO inhibitors as this combination is dangerous for our life.

The preparation also raises the toxic effect for the liver of Isoniazid.

It lowers the effect of anticoagulants, anticonvulsants (hydantoin derivatives or succinimides), barbiturates, clonazepam, primidon, corticosteroids, estrogens and estrogen contraceptives, quinidine, cardiac glycosides, and valproic acid.

The depressing effect on the central nervous system rendered by the preparation is enhanced by the combined use of the pills with phenothiazines, pimozide, and thioxanthenes.

The toxic effect of the medication is enhanced with cimetidine, clarithromycin, diltiazem, verapamil, erythromycin, and propoxyphene.

The risk of bone fragility development increases in the combination of Carbamazepine with inhibitors of carbonic anhydrase.

Dosage regimens for the therapy with Carbamazepine

The best way to choose the right dosage when you order Tegretol is to get a consultation with a professional. However, if for some reason you cannot do so, you can follow the official instruction.

The daily dosage is usually divided into two or three intakes. The pills can be taken without regard to meals with sufficient amount of water.

The dosage for children is calculated based on the body weight, 10-20mg per kilogram of the body weight is advised. For children between the years of five and ten the average dosages are 400-600 mg split into several intakes (up to 3). For children between the years of 10 and 15, the average dosages are 600-1000 mg split into several intakes (up to 5).

Therapy of acute manic conditions and bipolar disorders

The daily dosage for these conditions is from 400 to 1600 mg a day split into 2-3 intakes. In acute manic conditions, the optimal daily dosage can be achieved through fast increase of the dosage while in bipolar disorders it is advised to raise it gradually with small dosages.

Alcohol withdrawal syndrome treatment

The average dosage is 200 mg taken three times daily. In the most severe cases, within the first several days of the therapy the dosage can be increased to 400 mg taken three times a day. The most severe cases are treated with a combination therapy - Carbamazepine along with sedative-hypnotic drugs, for instance, clomethiazole or chlordiazepoxide. After the acute phase, monotherapy with the lowered dosage of Carbamazepine can be continued.

Therapy of neuralgia

The initial dosage is 200-400 mg a day or 100 mg 2 times a day for patients older than 65 years of age. The dosage then is gradually elevated till the elimination of painful sensations which usually occurs in the dosage of 200 mg taken 3-4 times a day. In some cases, the needed dosage can be as high as 1600 mg a day. But after the painkiller effect is achieved, the dosage should be gradually lowered till the minimum effective one.
