What are the drugs

Tegretol has active ingredients of carbamazepine. It is used in epilepsy, seizures, trigeminal neuralgia, bipolar disorder, generalized tonic-clonic seizure, mood swings.

Ritalin-sr has active ingredients of methylphenidate hydrochloride. It is used in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, narcolepsy.
