The Influence of Phenobarbitone and Phenytoin on Carbamazepine Serum Levels

  • Conference paper
Clinical Pharmacology of Anti-Epileptic Drugs

Abstract

Interactions between anti-epileptic drugs are well known. Thus, interactions between phenobarbitone and phenytoin have been reported by Cucinell et al. (1965), Kristensen et al. (1969), Kutt et al. (1969) and Morselli et al. (1971), between sulthiame and phenytoin by Hansen et al. (1968) and Olesen and Jensen (1969), and between carbamazepine and phenytoin by Hansen et al. (1971 b).

Presented in part at the X International Congress of Neurology, Barcelona, 1973. Excerpta Med., ICS 296, 263 (1973).
