Reduced dose of phenytoin may be required ( 7.1 )

Carbamazepine, Phenytoin, and Phenobarbital: Decreased plasma levels of MHD (the active metabolite).

Effect of TRILEPTAL on Other Drugs Phenytoin levels have been shown to increase with concomitant use of TRILEPTAL at doses greater than 1200 mg/day [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)] .

Therefore, it is recommended that the plasma levels of phenytoin be monitored during the period of TRILEPTAL titration and dosage modification.
