ZEPTOL CR 300 contains Carbamazepine 300 mg, an anticonvulsant and mood-stabilizing medication. It is used to manage epilepsy, bipolar disorder, and certain types of neuropathic pain. The controlled-release formulation allows for a more consistent release of the active ingredient, reducing the need for frequent dosing.
Main Uses
- Treatment of partial and generalized seizures in epilepsy
- Management of bipolar disorder (as a mood stabilizer)
- Neuropathic pain, such as trigeminal neuralgia (nerve pain in the face)

Mechanism of Action
Carbamazepine works by stabilizing hyperactive electrical activity in the brain. It inhibits sodium channels, preventing the spread of excessive electrical signals, which helps control seizures and stabilize mood in individuals with bipolar disorder.
Dosage and Administration
- Typically taken once or twice daily, as prescribed by a healthcare provider
- Tablets should be swallowed whole without chewing or crushing, as this ensures the controlled release of the medication
