Abstract

Oxcarbazepine is an effective antiepileptic medication. It is typically used alone or in conjunction with other drugs to treat partial seizures and is believed to be the first line for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia, which is a sharp pain attack lasting for seconds in orofacial territories and the distribution of the trigeminal nerve and its branches. Its therapeutic effectiveness is comparable to carbamazepine, but it has better pharmacokinetic properties, is better tolerated, and has a safe profile compared to carbamazepine drug-to-drug interactions and general side effects.
