The two faces of Tegretol. Trigeminal neuralgia: The drug of choice in the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia because Tegretol…is a specific treatment, rapidly relieves pain, often within 24-48 hours, is consistently effective over prolonged periods, is effective in up to 85% of patients, is unrelated to other analgesics, is devoid of narcotic properties. (Other half of the page) Grand mal and temporal lobe epilepsies: Widens the scope of anti-epileptic therapy because Tegretol…is chemically unrelated to other anticonvulsant therapies, controls seizures and psychomotor attacks markedly improves disturbances of mood and behaviour so often present in epilepsy, may be used as sole therapy or can be added to existing therapy when the patient is inadequately controlled, is well tolerated by all ages when given in the recommended dosage, is suitable for long-term treatment. |
