Resumen
Co-morbidity leads to an increasing number of drug prescriptions in the individual patient. Co-morbidity of epilepsy and psychiatric diseases is common. Therefore, possible interactions between antiepileptic drugs and those used in psychiatric diseases have to be considered. Pharmacokinetic interactions are common among drugs that are metabolized by cytochrome-P450 isoenzymes. It is crucial to know about possible drug interactions as they may lead both to impaired effectiveness and to uncontrolled toxicity of specific drugs.
