Zeptol 100 mg Tablets contain Carbamazepine, a well-established anticonvulsant and mood-stabilizing agent used in the management of epilepsy, trigeminal neuralgia, and bipolar disorder. This lower strength is ideal for initiating therapy, adjusting doses, or for use in pediatric patients as prescribed. Carbamazepine works by decreasing abnormal nerve impulses in the brain, helping to control seizures, relieve nerve pain, and maintain emotional balance.
