About This Test
Oxcarbazepine (Trileptal) is an anti-convulsant used for treating generalized tonic-clonic and partial seizures. It can be administered alone or as an adjunct to other anti-convulsants. Clinically significant effects of Oxcarbazepine are observed when plasma levels of its active metabolite, 10-OH-carbazepine, are between 15 and 35 ug/mL. Toxic symptoms may occur when plasma levels exceed 35 ug/mL. Therapeutic mornitoring of Oxcarbazepine and its active metabolite are important for achieving proper serum/plasma concentration to inhibit epileptic seizures and avoid adverse effects.
