title: Plasma carbamazepine determinations: a simple gas chromatographic method.
abstract: 1. A simple, rapid and specific gas chromatographic method for the measurement of plasma carbamazepine concentration is presented. 2. The extraction is a single step method, and the drug is measured by derivatization using on column methylation and standard instrumentation. 3. Other anticonvulsant agents do not co-extract. Other drugs do not interfere in the chromatogram. 4. Stability, recovery and reproducibility make this procedure suitable for routine carbamazepine measurements.
