التداخل بين إسليكاربازيبين وزونيساميد

Patients should be carefully observed for signs of central nervous system (CNS) depression, such as somnolence and sedation, when ZONISADE is used with other drugs with sedative properties because of potential additive effects.

• ZONISADE should be used with caution if used in combination with alcohol or other CNS depressants ( 7.1 ).

CYP3A4 Inducers If co-administration with a potent CYP3A4 inducer is necessary, the patient should be closely monitored and the dose of ZONISAMIDE and other drugs that CYP3A4 substrates may need to be adjusted [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] .

Anyone considering prescribing APTIOM or any other AED must balance this risk with the risk of untreated illness.

Other Antiepileptic Drugs Several AEDs (e.g., carbamazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin, and primidone) can induce enzymes that metabolize APTIOM and can cause decreased plasma concentrations of eslicarbazepine [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )].
