Clinical Trial
An initial experience with therapeutic drug monitoring of levetiracetam as reported from a pediatric clinical setting in India.
Monitoring of levetiracetam in routine clinical practice is not strongly recommended. The aim of this study was to investigate any difference in serum levetiracetam concentration between patients on enzyme-inducing and -inhibiting antiepileptic co-medication and also to identify any correlation between levetiracetam concentration and clinical response. ⋯ Levetiracetam monitoring has a role in patients on antiepileptic polypharmacy and for confirmation of compliance.
