Approximately 30 % of patients with epilepsy are refractory to monotherapy and are invariably prescribed two or more antiepileptic drugs to control seizures. Because of the long-term nature of epilepsy treatment, it is inevitable that patients will be prescribed nonepilepsy drugs to treat comorbidities. Furthermore, patients with epilepsy may use over-the-counter medications. For these reasons, the propensity of drug-drug interactions is high.

Keywords: epilepsy, antiepileptic drugs, interaction, therapeutic drug monitoring.
