Is there any difference in generic Tegretol and the brand name product?
Tegertol is a drug used mainly in seizure disorders. It is also occasionally used to treat chronic pain and certain types of facial pain. I haven’t seen a major difference in seizure patients treated with tegrotol. This drug has drug levels available and keeping the drug in the therapeutic range seems more important than the manufacturer. However, I have individual patients who seem not to tolerate generic, either with different side effects or with lack of efficacy.
