Rationale 3:Carbamazepine (Tegretol) is not the drug of choice for simple partial seizures.
Rationale 4: Carbamazepine (Tegretol) is not used for febrile seizures.

Global Rationale: Carbamazepine (Tegretol), a phenytoin-like drug, is the drug of choice for tonic-clonic and partial seizures because it produces fewer adverse effects than does phenytoin or phenobarbital.
