Api Details

Carbamazepine is an anticonvulsant and mood-stabilizing agent used primarily in the treatment of epilepsy, bipolar disorder, and trigeminal neuralgia. As an Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API), it functions by decreasing nerve impulses that cause seizures and pain. Chemically, it belongs to the dibenzazepine carboxamide class and exerts its effects by stabilizing the inactivated state of sodium channels, thereby reducing synaptic transmission. Carbamazepine is available in various formulations, including tablets, extended-release capsules, and suspensions. It is known for its efficacy in reducing the frequency of seizures and mood swings, though it requires careful monitoring due to potential side effects and drug interactions.
