Active Ingredient: Carbamazepine
Carbamazepine is indicated for the paroxysmal pain of trigeminal neuralgia.
For this indication, competent medicine agencies globally authorize below treatments:
Oral
100 - 1,200 mg
From 25 To 300 mg 4 time(s) per day every day
100 mg
Due to drug interactions and different antiepileptic drug pharmacokinetics, the dosage of carbamazepine should be selected with caution in elderly patients.
In elderly patients, an initial dose of 100 mg twice daily is recommended. The initial dosage of 100 mg twice daily should be slowly raised daily until freedom from pain is achieved (normally at 200 mg 3 to 4 times daily). The dosage should then be gradually reduced to the lowest possible maintenance level. Maximum recommended dose is 1200 mg/day. When pain relief has been obtained, attempts should be made to gradually discontinue therapy, until another attack occurs.
It may be taken during, after or between meals.
