Carbamazepine SR tablets maintain a more stable concentration of the drug in the blood than conventional tablets or suspension Carbamazepine. It is also appropriate to buy SR tablets Carbamazepine for other reasons:

• seizures and other manifestations of epilepsy are significantly reduced or completely disappear when using the minimal doses – 100-200 mg twice a day;

• contributes to social rehabilitation of patients after elimination of epilepsy signs;
• reduces severe manifestations of alcohol withdrawal – hyperexcitability, tremor, gait disturbance within a few days of application.

Carbamazepine was not the first anticonvulsant drug. Medicines for epilepsy treatment have been used since the mid-1940s. Carbamazepine was first developed in 1953 by a Swiss chemist Walter Schindler, worked in a company J.R. Geigy AG.

The first drug based on Carbamazepine went on sale in 1963 as a means to eliminate pain in neuralgia and treatment of manic-depressive disorders. Since 1965, it has become possible to buy Carbamazepine as anticonvulsant drug in the UK.
