Encourage women who are taking TRILEPTAL during pregnancy to enroll in the North American Antiepileptic Drug (NAAED) Pregnancy Registry by calling 1-888-233-2334 or visiting http://www.aedpregnancyregistry.org/.There are no adequate data on the developmental risks associated with the use of TRILEPTAL in pregnant women; however, TRILEPTAL is closely related structurally to carbamazepine, which is considered to be teratogenic in humans. TRILEPTAL may be increased as clinically indicated by a maximum increment of 600 mg/day at approximately weekly intervals to achieve the maximum recommended daily dose of 2400 mg/day.

No development of tolerance (i.e., attenuation of anticonvulsive activity) was observed in the maximal electroshock test when mice and rats were treated daily for 5 days and 4 weeks, respectively, with oxcarbazepine or MHD.Following oral administration of TRILEPTAL tablets, oxcarbazepine is completely absorbed and extensively metabolized to its pharmacologically active 10-monohydroxy metabolite (MHD).

Instruct patients to discard any unused TRILEPTAL oral suspension after 7 weeks of first opening the bottle [Advise patients that TRILEPTAL may reduce the serum sodium concentrations especially if they are taking other medications that can lower sodium. The concomitant AEDs should be completely withdrawn over 3 to 6 weeks, while the maximum dose of TRILEPTAL should be reached in about 2 to 4 weeks. Its molecular weight is 252.27 g/mol.TRILEPTAL film-coated tablets contain the following inactive ingredients: colloidal silicon dioxide, crospovidone, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, iron oxide, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, polyethylene glycol, talc, and titanium dioxide.TRILEPTAL oral suspension contains the following inactive ingredients: ascorbic acid; dispersible cellulose; ethanol; macrogol stearate; methyl parahydroxybenzoate; propylene glycol; propyl parahydroxybenzoate; purified water; sodium saccharin; sorbic acid; sorbitol; yellow-plum-lemon aroma.The pharmacological activity of TRILEPTAL is primarily exerted through the 10-monohydroxy metabolite (MHD) of oxcarbazepine [Oxcarbazepine and its active metabolite (MHD) exhibit anticonvulsant properties in animal seizure models.

Although not directly studied, the oral bioavailability of the TRILEPTAL suspension is unlikely to be affected under fed conditions.

The effect of these interactions on mean AUCs and CCoadministration of TRILEPTAL with an oral contraceptive has been shown to influence the plasma concentrations of the two hormonal components:, ethinylestradiol (EE) and levonorgestrel (LNG) [Calcium Antagonists: After repeated coadministration of TRILEPTAL, the AUC of felodipine was lowered by 28% [90% CI: 20 to 33]. The risk of aggravation of primary generalized seizures is seen especially in children but may also occur in adults. Instruct patients to report symptoms of low sodium like nausea, tiredness, lack of energy, confusion, and more frequent or more severe seizures [Anaphylactic reactions and angioedema may occur during treatment with TRILEPTAL. Available clinical evidence, and data from nonclinical studies showing a direct interaction between TRILEPTAL and HLA-B*1502 protein, suggest that the HLA-B*1502 allele may also increase the risk for SJS/TEN with TRILEPTAL. Adults and Adolescents 17 years and older. TRILEPTAL oral suspension can be mixed in a small glass of water just prior to administration, or alternatively, may be swallowed directly from the syringe. Abstral (fentaNYL) Tablet.

No autoinduction has been observed with TRILEPTAL.

0078-0337-06, TRILEPTAL oral suspension can be mixed in a small glass of water just prior to administration, or alternatively, may be swallowed directly from the syringe.

Because the reports cite events observed in open label and uncontrolled trials, the role of TRILEPTAL in their causation cannot be reliably determined.Serum sodium levels below 125 mmol/L have been observed in patients treated with TRILEPTAL [Laboratory data from clinical trials suggest that TRILEPTAL use was associated with decreases in TThe following adverse reactions have been identified during postapproval use of TRILEPTAL.

Removal of the drug by gastric lavage and/or inactivation by administering activated charcoal should be considered.TRILEPTAL is an AED available as 150 mg, 300 mg, and 600 mg film-coated tablets for oral administration. Patients were observed for 126 days or until 1 of the following 4 exit criteria occurred: 1) a doubling of the 28-day seizure frequency compared to baseline, 2) a 2-fold increase in the highest consecutive 2-day seizure frequency during baseline, 3) a single generalized seizure if none had occurred during baseline, or 4) a prolonged generalized seizure.

In these patients, initiate TRILEPTAL at a dose of 8 to 10 mg/kg/day given twice a day.
