In brief
Carbamazepine is used for certain types of epileptic seizure, for idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia and for mania and bipolar disorder. Strengths of 100 mg, 200 mg and 400 mg are available on this listing.
Partial seizures, trigeminal neuralgia and mania among the indications
The healthdirect entry for Teril lists carbamazepine for epilepsy with partial seizures (simple and complex), generalised seizures that include a tonic-clonic component and mixed seizures; the same entry describes Teril as suitable for monotherapy and for combination therapy. Idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia, mania and the ongoing treatment of bipolar disorder are listed as well. In plainer words, the Tegretol leaflet speaks of controlling fits, of sudden repeated bouts of face pain, and of mania and bipolar mood disorder.
This listing shows carbamazepine 100 mg, 200 mg and 400 mg and does not state whether the tablets are standard or controlled-release. It does not name the manufacturer of the product supplied, so check the label on the pack you receive and confirm with your prescriber or pharmacist that it matches your prescription.

A lower price per unit means a larger upfront payment. Choose only the quantity and strength appropriate to your prescription, and check the expiry date. Prices can change, so confirm the current pack price before ordering.
Absence, atonic and myoclonic seizures fall outside its range
Healthdirect states that carbamazepine does not work for absence, atonic or myoclonic seizures and is not suitable in status epilepticus. It is also not intended for ordinary headache or minor pain in the face.
Tegretol from Novartis and the uncoated Teril tablet
Tegretol is sponsored by Novartis Pharmaceuticals Australia. Its range, as described in the Tegretol consumer medicine information, runs from 100 mg and 200 mg tablets to 200 mg and 400 mg controlled-release (CR) tablets and a suspension. Teril, another brand, is an uncoated 200 mg tablet classed as Schedule 4, a Prescription Only Medicine. Which brand, if any, the supplied product carries is not stated on this listing.
Porphyria, lupus and tricyclic antidepressants among the exclusions
Carbamazepine is not for people with an allergy to it, a disorder of the blood, serious liver disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, an AV heart block or hepatic porphyria, the Tegretol leaflet says. It is also not combined with tricyclic antidepressants or with monoamine oxidase inhibitors.
Han Chinese or Thai heritage, pregnancy and weaker contraceptive pills
Because of the risk of serious skin reactions, people with Han Chinese or Thai heritage may need a blood test before they begin, according to the leaflet. Use in pregnancy may carry a risk of birth defects. Tegretol makes contraceptive pills less effective, so a non-hormonal method should be added to any hormonal contraception.
Tegretol with or after food, and no grapefruit juice
The Tegretol leaflet says the tablets go down with water during or after food, commonly two or three times daily on the doctor’s instructions, and that CR tablets must not be crushed. The leaflet also rules out drinking alcohol or grapefruit juice.
From hair loss to hallucinations: the unranked Tegretol effect list
Possible effects drawn from the Tegretol leaflet are set out here without any grouping by frequency or severity. They include swelling in any part of the body, sleepiness or tiredness, putting on weight, nausea and vomiting, confusion, hair loss, fever, breathing difficulty, seizures, a dry mouth, fainting or dizziness, poorer coordination, difficulty speaking, muscle weakness or pain, numbness or pins and needles, an altered sense of taste, hallucinations, depression, agitation, aggression, blurred or double vision, and red, itchy or other skin problems.
Tegretol’s dry-place rule and Teril’s temperature limit
Both the Tegretol leaflet and the healthdirect Teril entry specify storage below 30 °C, and the Tegretol leaflet adds that the tablets belong in a dry place. Follow the storage directions on the pack you receive.
