Use

Carbamazepine and its metabolite (10,11‑Carbamazepine epoxide) are widely used for control of generalized tonic‑clonic, partial‑onset, complex and mixed seizure disorders. The metabolism of carbamazepine in epileptic patients has several different pathways that can be altered when the patient is co‑medicated with other anticonvulsants and, therefore, its therapeutic level should be monitored along with its metabolite in their free and protein bound states.
