Emilio Carranco, MD; John Kareus, DO; Schenley Co, MD; Vincent Peak, PharmD; Saad Al-Rajeh, MD

Arch Neurol. 1985;42(2):187-188.


Abstract

• 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.
