Can Epitol Be Taken In Place Of Tegretol?

My brother has been on Carbamazepine (Tegretol) for many years with great success. We recently moved and had to change doctors. His new Dr said his current medication was working well and would prescribe the same. When we picked up the med at the pharmacy it was called Epitol. Is this the same medication?? Does it work as well as Carbamazepine?
