Hallow Dear,

Mazetol you are taking is Carbamazepine. This drug is used for epilepsy and bipolar disorder and some form of neuralgia. This medicine is of Category D and hence not safe to be taken during pregnancy. It may affect the baby adversely.

Please contact your Obstetrician with the help of a physician to get this medicine changed to a medicine safer during the pregnancy. Till that please do not attempt for pregnancy.
