Dear all,

I am in the process of refining our anti-convulsant service and was wondering what the group's opinion was with regards to the measurement of carbamazepine epoxide?

We currently offer carbamazepine epoxide as part of our service but few seem to request it and there seem to be mixed opinions within the literature regarding its use.

Kind Regards,

Catherine Treslove
