Drug interactions between antiepileptic drugs and other drugs.
Antiepileptic drugs interact with a variety of other drugs to affect the pharmacokinetic behavior of either drug. Drug interactions may also occur when antiepileptic drugs are given in combination. The possibility of such interactions is not a contraindication to the use of combinations, but it requires that the clinician be aware of the problem and monitor patients given potentially interacting combinations.
