4. CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 Therapeutic indications
Treatment of primary generalised tonic-clonic seizures and partial
seizures, with or
without secondary generalization.
4.2 Dosage and administration
Trileptin is not approved for use in children less than 2 years of
age.
Dosage
Trileptin is suitable for use either as monotherapy or in combination
with other
antiepileptic drugs. In mono- and adjunctive therapy, treatment with
Trileptin is
initiated with a clinically effective dose given in two divided doses.
The dose may
be increased depending on the clinical response of the patient.
When
other
antiepileptic
drugs
are
replaced
by
Trileptin,
the
dose
of
the
concomitant antiepileptic drugs(s) should be reduced gradually on
initiation of
Trileptin therapy.
In adjunctive therapy, as the total antiepileptic drug load of the
patient is increased,
the dose of concomitant antiepileptic drug(s) may need to be reduced
and/or the
Trileptin dose increased more slowly (see section 4.5 Interactions).
Therapeutic drug monitoring
The therapeutic effect of oxcarbazepine is primarily exerted through
the active
metabolite 10-monohydroxy derivative (MHD) of oxcarbazepine (section 5
Clinical
pharmacology).
Plasma level monitoring of oxcarbazepine or MHD is not routinely
warranted.
However, plasma level monitoring of MHD may be considered during
Trileptin
therapy in order to rule out noncompliance, or in situations where an
alteration in
MHD clearance is to be expected, including:
•
changes in renal function (see section Dosage in renal impairment)
