  • Conference paper
Clinical Pharmacology of Anti-Epileptic Drugs

Abstract

The interactions between various anti-epileptic drugs have been reported on from time to time (Hansen et al. (1968), Cucinell et al. (1965), Kutt et al. (1969), Morselli et al. (1971) etc.). In the case of carbamazepine, its action on the serum concentration of phenytoin has been recognized previously (Hansen et al. (1971)).
