Carbamazepine is an anticonvulsant that is used to treat epilepsy and nerve pain from trigeminal neuralgia. The mechanism of action for Carbamazepine is not well understood but it is theorized that carbamazepine reduces seizure activity by preventing sodium channel activation. This interaction reduces the frequency and duration of sodium channel opening, slowing down nerve impulses and helping to prevent seizures Studies on animals have shown that carbamazepine works by reducing polysynaptic nerve response and preventing post-tetanic potentiation.
