  • Title: Safety and efficacy of oxcarbazepine: results of randomized, double-blind trials.
    Author: Beydoun A.
    Journal: Pharmacotherapy; 2000 Aug; 20(8 Pt 2):152S-158S. PubMed ID: 10937814.
    Abstract:
    Oxcarbazepine is approved as monotherapy and adjunctive therapy for partial seizures with and without secondarily generalized seizures in adults and as adjunctive therapy for partial-onset seizures in children aged 4-16 years. The clinical development of oxcarbazepine is different from the newer antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) in the extent and concordance of results across clinical trials. The safety and efficacy of oxcarbazepine was evaluated in adjunctive therapy trials, in comparative monotherapy trials with classic AEDs in adults and children with newly diagnosed epilepsy, in monotherapy therapeutic failure design trials in patients with refractory partial seizures, and in trigeminal neuralgia and affective disorder. The results of oxcarbazepine in treating epilepsy are discussed.
