Age and comedication are important contributors to pharmacokinetic variability. Age had the greatest impact on levetiracetam, and comedication affected the clearance of each of the 4 AEDs investigated in this study. Pharmacokinetic drug interactions must be carefully considered when multidrug therapies are prescribed. Therapeutic drug monitoring is a valuable tool for individualizing AED therapy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
