Abstract
Antiepileptic drug interactions may be either pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic; this chapter discusses only the former. Due to the difficulties of extrapolating animal data to the clinical situation, this review will be restricted to studies which have been performed in normal human volunteers or in patients. Reference to animal experiments, however, will be made occasionally when these are considered to be particularly relevant to the interpretation of clinical findings.
