Carbamazepine is a dibenzazepine-derivative anticonvulsant that stabilizes voltage-gated sodium channels in their inactive state, reducing repetitive neuronal firing. It is a first-line treatment for partial and generalized tonic-clonic seizures and trigeminal neuralgia, and is also used as a mood stabilizer in bipolar disorder.
