Each row is one product from one pharmacy, shown in the pack size with the lowest price per unit; its other pack sizes are listed under “other pack sizes”. Price per unit = the pack price divided by the units in the pack, before shipping; we sort by it and don't assume how long a pack lasts. Total with shipping = the pack price plus the pharmacy's shipping fee for one order. Prices checked Nov 12, 2026 on each pharmacy's website, in U.S. dollars (converted when a pharmacy prices in Canadian dollars). The lowest price at the top of this page uses only packs whose maker the pharmacy names, or whose product country and ships-from country it states. Prices change often; confirm at checkout. U.S. rows: the cash price a U.S. pharmacy published on its own website on the date shown, plus its standard shipping; no insurance or discount cards. “Fee not published” means the pharmacy doesn’t show its shipping fee before checkout, so that row’s total is the medicine price only.

What is Tegretol XR used for?
Tegretol XR (carbamazepine extended-release) is an anticonvulsant, a medicine that calms overactive nerve signals. According to its FDA label (DailyMed), it is used:
- To treat epilepsy: partial seizures with complex symptoms, generalized tonic-clonic seizures, and mixed seizure types. It doesn't help absence (petit mal) seizures.
- To treat the pain of trigeminal neuralgia.
The label says Tegretol XR is taken twice a day and swallowed whole, not crushed or chewed. For adults with epilepsy, the label starts at 200 mg twice a day and usually keeps people on 800 to 1,200 mg a day; for trigeminal neuralgia it starts at 100 mg twice a day. Tegretol has a boxed warning about serious skin reactions (more likely with the HLA-B*1502 gene, found mostly in people of Asian ancestry) and rare blood problems. Your prescriber decides which medicine is right for you.
Is it safe to order Tegretol XR from Canada?
Many Americans do, but U.S. law and customs rules apply, and for Tegretol XR, compare the U.S. price of FDA-approved generic carbamazepine ER before you order; seizure medicines need a steady supply. Federal law generally doesn't allow individuals to import prescription drugs, though under its personal importation policy the FDA has long used enforcement discretion for some personal-use shipments, generally no more than a three-month supply (FDA). Congress has said enforcement against individuals should focus on imports that pose a significant threat to public health (Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act section 804(j)(1), 21 U.S.C. 384(j)(1)). You need a prescription from your doctor. New U.S. Customs rules for mailed orders start January 20, 2027. In Canada, Novartis sells extended-release carbamazepine as Tegretol CR (200 mg and 400 mg), listed as marketed (Health Canada Drug Product Database, checked 2026-11-14).
