Carbamazepine is an anticonvulsant drug used to treat epilepsy, grand mal seizures and psychomotor or focal seizures, neurologic pain, as from trigenimal neuralgia, psychiatric disorders including manic-depressive illness and dementia related aggression. Its three-dimensional structure and action is similar to that of phentoin despite being quite dissimilar chemically. It is also similar to the tricyclic antidepressant medications.[1]
