Carbamazepine, Total

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 can be affected by co‑medication with other anticonvulsants; therefore, its therapeutic level should be monitored to ensure efficacy and avoid toxicity.
