A member asked:
Are there any advantages to using equetro over generic carbamazepine--other than time released. is it worth the extra money?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Far fewer rashes: In my experience I have seen far fewer rashes on Equetro compared to coarbamazepine. However, there is a tegretol extended release and although that is not approved for bipolar disorder, it is what i generally eprescribe my bipolar patients to avoid the cost of equetro.
