title: Fluconazole-carbamazepine interaction.
abstract: The patient we describe had elevated carbamazepine serum concentrations during concomitant fluconazole administration (400 mg/day), including serial concentrations both before and after antifungal therapy. Since fluconazole is a known inhibitor of the cytochrome P450 enzyme system, this suggests an inhibition of carbamazepine metabolism.
