Common brand names:
Carbatrol, Epitol, Tegretol, Atretol, Equetro, Tegretol XR, Carbagen SR, Epimaz, Tegretol RetardAnticonvulsants are a family of drugs that depress abnormal nerve activity in the brain, thereby blocking seizures. Barbiturates and benzodiazepines are commonly used to prevent and treat seizure disorders, as well as other conditions. Though some people are maintained on a single drug, most take two or more anticonvulsant medications to prevent seizures. Consequently, many studies report interactions that occur in individuals taking a few anticonvulsants.
