Oxcarbazepine (OXC) is a widely used antiepileptic drug for the treatment of partial seizures that was developed through structural variation of carbamazepine. Although OXC has a lower risk of cutaneous adverse drug reactions (cADRs) than carbamazepine, cADRs ranging from maculopapular eruption (MPE) to the more severe Stevens‐Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis still limit...
Hyponatremia is one of the most common adverse effects in patients treated with oxcarbazepine (OXC). Most patients with OXC-induced hyponatremia are asymptomatic, so the presence of severe or symptomatic hyponatremia, which requires electrolyte correction or discontinuation of OXC therapy, has more important clinically implications. However, data for OXC-induced severe and symptomatic hyponatremia...
The rapid achievement of effective levels of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) is required in patients with epilepsy who have a higher risk of seizures, and oral loading of AEDs may be an important consideration in these patients. We performed the present study to investigate the efficacy and tolerability of oral loading of oxcarbazepine in patients with recurrent seizures, or after temporary discontinuation...
