The results obtained are in accord with the prevailing opinion that there is a relationship between migraine and female sex hormones, and suggest that women with nonmigraine headache are also susceptible to hormonal fluctuations.
The LTG population pharmacokinetic model developed in this study may be a reliable method for individualising the LTG dosing regimen in paediatric and young adult patients on combination therapy during therapeutic drug monitoring.
The efficacy and safety of lamotrigine may be altered by concomitant administration of carbamazepine and valproic acid. The models developed may be useful for estimating doses of lamotrigine for individual patients to minimize clinically significant interactions. Therapeutic monitoring is advisable when those drugs are used concomitantly.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
