Carbamazepine toxicity induced by concurrent erythromycin therapy
E. Carranco, J. Kareus, S. Co, V. Peak and S. Al-Rajeh
We describe a 41-year-old woman receiving carbamazepine for epilepsy, in
whom concurrent erythromycin stearate administration led to carbamazepine
toxicity, including inappropriate antidiuretic hormone syndrome. We review
the literature on erythromycin-carbamazepine interaction and discuss the
mechanism for such interaction.
