एस्लिकार्बाज़ेपिन और पेरैम्पेनल का इंटरैक्शन

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

Moderate and Strong CYP3A4 Inducers (including carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, and phenytoin): increase clearance of perampanel and decrease perampanel plasma concentrations.

When moderate or strong CYP3A4 inducers are introduced or withdrawn, monitor patients closely.

Moderate and Strong CYP3A4 Inducers The concomitant use of known moderate and strong CYP3A4 inducers including carbamazepine, phenytoin, or oxcarbazepine with FYCOMPA decreased the plasma levels of perampanel by approximately 50-67% [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] .

The starting doses for FYCOMPA should be increased in the presence of moderate or strong CYP3A4 inducers [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ] .

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 )].
