Verapamil produced a decrease of 20% [90% CI: 18 to 27] of the plasma levels of MHD.Cimetidine, erythromycin and dextropropoxyphene had no effect on the pharmacokinetics of MHD.
Mild-to-moderate hepatic impairment did not affect the pharmacokinetics of oxcarbazepine and MHD [Due to physiological changes during pregnancy, MHD plasma levels may gradually decrease throughout pregnancy [Oxcarbazepine can inhibit CYP2C19 and induce CYP3A4/5 with potentially important effects on plasma concentrations of other drugs. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.Keep TRILEPTAL and all medicines out of the reach of children.General Information about the safe and effective use of TRILEPTAL.Read these instructions carefully to learn how to use the medicine dispensing system correctly.Replace the cap to be sure that the adapter has been fully forced into the neck of the bottle. In this trial, 65% of patients were discontinued because they could not tolerate the 2400 mg/day dose of TRILEPTAL on top of existing AEDs.

Patients should be observed closely during this transition phase.The recommended total daily dose of TRILEPTAL is shown in Table 1.Patients not currently being treated with AEDs may have monotherapy initiated with TRILEPTAL. The adverse events seen in this study were primarily CNS related and the risk for discontinuation was dose related.In this trial, 7.1% of oxcarbazepine-treated patients and 4% of placebo-treated patients experienced a cognitive adverse reaction. Before taking TRILEPTAL, tell your healthcare provider about all your medical conditions, including if you: Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you takeWhat is the most important information I should know about TRILEPTAL?TRILEPTAL may cause other serious side effects, including:Get medical help right away if you have any of the symptoms listed above or listed in “What is the most important information I should know about TRILEPTAL?”The most common side effects of TRILEPTAL include: Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. There was a statistically significant difference in favor of TRILEPTAL (see Figure 1), p = 0.0001. The highest dose tested is less than the MRHD on a mg/mThe effectiveness of TRILEPTAL as adjunctive and monotherapy for partial-onset seizures in adults, and as adjunctive therapy in children aged 2 to 16 years was established in seven multicenter, randomized, controlled trials.The effectiveness of TRILEPTAL as monotherapy for partial-onset seizures in children aged 4 to 16 years was determined from data obtained in the studies described, as well as by pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic considerations.Four randomized, controlled, double-blind, multicenter trials, conducted in a predominately adult population, demonstrated the efficacy of TRILEPTAL as monotherapy. This disorder is variable in its expression, and other organ systems not noted here may be involved. Dosage adjustment is recommended with concomitant use of strong CYP3A4 enzyme inducers or UGT inducers, which include certain antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) [Patients receiving concomitant AEDs may be converted to monotherapy by initiating treatment with TRILEPTAL at 600 mg/day (given in a twice a day regimen) while simultaneously initiating the reduction of the dose of the concomitant AEDs. The adverse reactions most commonly associated with discontinuation were: dizziness (6.4%), diplopia (5.9%), ataxia (5.2%), vomiting (5.1%), nausea (4.9%), somnolence (3.8%), headache (2.9%), fatigue (2.1%), abnormal vision (2.1%), tremor (1.8%), abnormal gait (1.7%), rash (1.4%), and hyponatremia (1.0%).The most common (≥ 5%) adverse reactions with TRILEPTAL in these patients were similar to those in previously treated patients.Approximately 9% of these 295 adult patients discontinued treatment because of an adverse reaction.
