300 mg/day PO initially; may titrate to 1800-2400 mg/day maximum150-300 mg/day PO initially; may increase to 900-1200 mg/day (general recommendation)Doses up to 1800 mg/day studied, with positive results300 mg PO q8-12hr initially; may adjust dose to 400-2000 mg divided q8-12hr (maximum tolerated or effective dose)Conversion from immediate release to Oxtellar XR: Higher doses of Oxtellar XR may be requiredConversion from immediate-release to Oxtellar XR: Higher doses of Oxtellar XR may be requiredFor extended-release dosage administration consider initial dose of 300-450 mg/dayMay increase at weekly intervals to desired effect; not to exceed 2400 mg/dayHematic and lymphatic systems: Bone marrow depression, agranulocytosis, aplastic anemia, pancytopenia, neutropeniaDigestive system: Pancreatitis and/or lipase and/or amylase increasedMetabolism and nutrition disorders: Folic acid deficiency, hypothyroidismSkin and appendages: Erythema multiforme, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysisSkeletal: Fractures, decreased bone mineral, osteoporosisBody as a whole: Multiorgan hypersensitivity disorders characterized by features such as rash, fever, lymphadenopathy, abnormal liver function tests, eosinophilia, and arthralgiaDrug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS)/Multi-Organ HypersensitivityKnown hypersensitivity to oxcarbazepine or any of its components, or to eslicarbazepine acetateHypersensitivity reactions may occur; if signs or symptoms of hypersensitivity develop, discontinue treatment immediatelyAntiepileptic drugs (AEDs) increase risk of suicidal thoughts or behavior in patients receiving therapy; monitor for emergence or worsening of depression, suicidal thoughts or behavior, and/or any unusual changes in mood or behaviorCaution performing tasks that require mental alertnessPotentially fatal skin reactions may occur (eg, Stevens-Johnson syndrome)Significant hyponatremia and syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) may develop (monitor especially in patients at risk of hyponatremia)Pancytopenia, agranulocytosis, and leukopenia reported rarelyHypothyroidism reported; monitor thyroid function, especially in children; discontinuation of therapy associated with return of normal thyroxine levelsPatients carrying the HLA-B*1502 allele may be at increased risk for Stevens-Johnson syndrome and epidermal necrolysisHalf-life of primary active metabolite is prolonged 3- to 4-fold and AUC is doubled in patients with CrCl <30 mL/min; adjust dose in these patientsExacerbation of or new onset of primary generalized seizures reported; risk of aggravation of primary generalized seizures is seen especially in children but may also occur in adults; discontinue therapy if it occursDo not discontinue anticonvulsants abruptly; withdraw gradually because of risk of increased seizure frequency and status epilepticus; if withdrawal is needed because of serious adverse event, rapid discontinuation can be consideredThere is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to AEDs, such as TRILEPTAL, during pregnancy.
Contact the applicable plan 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.
