  • Title: The incorporation of lamotrigine into the routine automated sequential trace enrichment of dialysates assay of anticonvulsants.
    Author: Higgins G, Hughes A, Dutton J, Roberts NB.
    Journal: Ann Clin Biochem; 1998 Jul; 35 ( Pt 4)():534-8. PubMed ID: 9681056.
    Abstract:
    We have extended automated sequential trace enrichment of dialysates and high performance liquid chromatography to include the simultaneous assay of lamotrigine with other anticonvulsant drugs: phenobarbitone, carbamazepine and phenytoin. The procedure is reliable and precise (between-batch coefficients of variation < 2.8%) with no interference from other commonly prescribed drugs. Patients on lamotrigine presented with serum concentrations up to 67 mumol/L with no adverse effects, suggesting that the therapeutic range may need re-appraisal.
