Pregnancy risk category D

FDA Box Warning

• Prescriber should be thoroughly familiar with prescribing information, particularly regarding use with other drugs (especially those that increase toxicity potential).

• Drug has been linked to aplastic anemia and agranulocytosis.

• Transient or persistent decreases in platelet or white blood cell (WBC) counts have occurred, but data aren't available to accurately estimate incidence or outcome. Rarely, leukopenia cases progressed to aplastic anemia or agranulocytosis.

• Obtain complete pretreatment hematologic tests as baseline. If WBC or platelet count drops during therapy, monitor closely. Consider withdrawing drug if evidence of significant bone marrow depression develops.

Action

Unclear. Chemically related to tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs). Anticonvulsant action may result from reduction in polysynaptic responses and blocking of post-tetanic potentiation.

Interactions

Drug-drug. Acetaminophen: increased risk of acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity, decreased acetaminophen efficacy

Anticoagulants, bupropion: increased metabolism of these drugs, causing decreased efficacy

Barbiturates: decreased barbiturate blood level, increased carbamazepine blood level

Charcoal: decreased carbamazepine absorption

Cimetidine, danazol, diltiazem: increased carbamazepine blood level

Cyclosporine, felbamate, felodipine, haloperidol: decreased blood levels of these drugs

Doxycycline: shortened doxycycline half-life and reduced antimicrobial effect

Hormonal contraceptives: decreased contraceptive efficacy, possibly leading to pregnancy

Hydantoins: increased or decreased hydantoin blood level, decreased carbamazepine blood level

Isoniazid: increased risk of carbamazepine toxicity and isoniazid hepatotoxicity

Lithium: increased risk of CNS toxicity Macrolide antibiotics (such as clarithromycin and erythromycin), propoxy-phene, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (such as fluoxetine and flu-voxamine), verapamil: increased carbamazepine blood level, greater risk of toxicity

MAO inhibitors: high fever, hypertension, seizures, and possibly death

Nondepolarizing neuromuscular blockers: shortened carbamazepine duration of action

TCAs: increased carbamazepine blood level and greater risk of toxicity, decreased TCA blood level

Valproic acid: decreased valproic acid blood level with possible loss of seizure control, variable changes in carbamazepine blood level

Drug-diagnostic tests. Blood urea nitrogen, eosinophils, liver function tests: increased values

Granulocytes, hemoglobin, platelets, thyroid function tests, white blood cells: decreased values

Drug-food. Grapefruit juice: increased drug blood level and effects

Patient monitoring

See Monitor patient closely. Institute seizure precautions if drug must be withdrawn suddenly.

• Assess for history of psychosis; drug may activate symptoms.

• Monitor baseline hematologic, kidney, and liver function test results.

• During dosage adjustments, monitor vital signs and fluid intake and output. Stay alert for fluid retention, renal failure, and cardiovascular complications.

• With high doses, monitor CBC weekly for first 3 months and then monthly to detect bone marrow depression.

Patient teaching

• Tell patient that he may sprinkle contents of extended-release capsules over food, but that he shouldn't crush or chew capsule or contents.

• Advise patient that coating on extended-release capsules may be visible in stools because it isn't absorbed.

• Tell patient to take drug with meals to minimize GI upset.

• Caution patient to avoid driving and other hazardous activities until he knows how drug affects concentration, alertness, and vision.

• Advise patient to avoid excessive sun exposure and to wear protective clothing and sunscreen.

• Inform female patient that drug may interfere with hormonal contraception. Advise her to use alternative birth-control method.

• As appropriate, review all other significant and life-threatening adverse reactions and interactions, especially those related to the drugs, tests, foods, herbs, and behaviors mentioned above.
