How it works
Blocks voltage-gated sodium channels in hyperexcitable trigeminal nerve fibres, reducing ectopic discharge frequency that produces the characteristic electric-shock pain.
Prescription only. Common side effects include dizziness, sedation, and nausea. Requires blood count monitoring (rare aplastic anaemia). HLA-B*1502 genetic testing recommended in South Asian/East Asian populations before starting.
