Abstract:
A case of a patient who developed hyponatremia both during normal dose and during low dose carbamazepine therapy is described. The clinical characteristics of hypo-osmolar syndrome due to carbamazepine are similar to those of the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion. In literature, many cases of hyponatremia, related to assumption of normal dose carbamazepine, are reported; instead hyponatremia during low dose carbamazepine is rarely described. For this reason, a frequent monitoring of plasma sodium concentration, also in patients treated with low dose carbamazepine, is warranted.

Antiepileptic Drugs: Calcium Channel Blockers
Calcium channel blockers exert their antiepileptic effects by targeting T-type calcium channels, which are integral to transmitting nerve signals in the central nervous system. These channels allow the passage of calcium ions, which are vital for neuronal communication. By inhibiting T-type calcium channels, calcium channel blockers effectively reduce the release of neurotransmitters and...
