Renal impairment
CrCl <30 mL/min: Decrease initial dose by 50%, titrate up slowly
Contraindication
Hypersensitivity. Lactation.
Mode of Action
Oxcarbazepine blocks voltage-sensitive sodium channels, which inhibits repetitive firing, stabilises hyperexcited neuronal membranes and decreases release of synaptic impulses. These effects may prevent the spread of epileptic seizures.
Precaution
Patient carrying the HLA-B*1502 allele. Avoid abrupt withdrawal. Severe renal and hepatic impairment. Pregnancy. Patient Counselling May impair ability to drive or operate machinery. Monitoring Parameters Monitor seizure frequency, serum Na, symptoms of CNS depression, hypersensitivity reactions, serum levels of concomitant antiepileptic drugs during titration; periodic thyroid function test and CBC. Lactation: Oxcarbazepine and its active metabolite (MHD) are excreted in human milk; milk-to-plasma concentration ratio of 0.5 was found for both Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants, a decision should be made as to whether a mother should discontinue nursing or whether she should...
