When you take Tegretol and feel dyspnea you should seek medical attention to give appropriate treatment or determine whether you need to adjust your medication under the guidance of your doctor.
Tegretol is mainly used in unstable angina, non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction or ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and other acute coronary syndromes in patients, including patients receiving drug therapy and percutaneous coronary intervention, to prevent thrombotic cardiovascular events.
Dyspnea is one of the common adverse reactions to Tegretol. The exact mechanism by which dyspnea occurs in patients after administration of the drug is unclear, and is usually mild to moderate and resolves without discontinuation of the drug. If the patient has persistent or aggravated dyspnea, it is necessary to consider whether there is drug allergy, or accompanied by other dyspnea-causing diseases such as pulmonary embolism, coronary stent re-obstruction after interventional therapy, etc., then the drug should be discontinued and promptly seek medical attention.
It is recommended that patients who feel dyspnea after taking Tegretol should consult a doctor in time for examination, so as to clarify the cause and then give targeted treatment.
