These conditions include epilepsy, bipolar disorder, trigeminal neuralgia, neuropathic pain, and schizoaffective disorder. The medication functions by reducing the activity of specific nerve cells in the brain, thereby decreasing the frequency and intensity of seizures and other symptoms associated with these disorders.

The capsules are solid dosage forms composed of two gelatin or vegetarian shells that enclose the medication.

Carbamazepine is available in both immediate-release and extended-release formulations, catering to the specific needs and treatment plans of individual patients. Generally, this medication is well-tolerated with minimal side effects.

In the case of bipolar disorder, it aids in stabilizing mood swings and reducing the frequency of manic episodes. For individuals suffering from trigeminal neuralgia, carbamazepine can help to alleviate the intensity of facial pain. It is also beneficial in treating neuropathic pain, which is caused by nerve damage, and schizoaffective disorder, a complex condition that combines elements of schizophrenia and a mood disorder.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
