Question:

| Hi Doc, My brother suffers from Epilepsy. The Doctors gave him "TEGRTOL CR 200mg" to control the fits. My question is- Is this medication any way related to stomach ulsers? Thank you.

Answer:

|
|
| Thank you for your inquiry. Not quite sure what you mean - the medicine is not used for treatment of stomach ulcers (are you thinking of DeNol, which is?) but neither does it cause stomach ulcers as a side effect - it has some gastrointestinal side effects (if they occur, are usually limited to mausea / vomiting early on after starting treatment - you'll find more details on the package insert) but its use is not associated with stomach ulcers. Hope this helps.
