As of 2014, a [[controlled release]] formulation was available for which there is tentative evidence showing fewer side effects and unclear evidence with regard to whether there is a difference in efficacy.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Powell G, Saunders M, Rigby A, Marson AG | title = Immediate-release versus controlled-release carbamazepine in the treatment of epilepsy | journal = The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews | volume = 12 | pages = CD007124 | date = December 2016 | issue = 4 | pmid = 27933615 | pmc = 6463840 | doi = 10.1002/14651858.CD007124.pub5 }}</ref>
Common [[adverse drug reaction|adverse effects]] include drowsiness, headaches and migraines, [[motor coordination]] impairment, and/or upset stomach. Carbamazepine preparations typically greatly decrease a person's alcohol tolerance.


It has also been shown to improve symptoms of "typewriter tinnitus", a type of tinnitus caused by the neurovascular compression of the cochleovestibular nerve. <ref>Sunwoo, W., Jeon, Y., Bae, Y. et al. Typewriter tinnitus revisited: The typical symptoms and the initial response to carbamazepine are the most reliable diagnostic clues. Sci Rep 7, 10615 (2017). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-017-10798-w</ref>
Less common side-effects include cardiac arrhythmias, blurry or double [[Visual perception|vision]] and/or the temporary loss of[[blood cell]]s or [[platelet]]s and in rare cases can cause aplastic anemia. With normal use, small reductions in white cell count and serum sodium are common; however, in rare cases, the loss of platelets may become life-threatening. This occurs commonly enough that a doctor may recommend frequent blood tests during the first few months of use, followed by three to four tests per year for established patients. In the UK, testing is generally performed much less frequently for long-term carbamazepine patients—typically once per year. {{citation needed|date=November 2010}} Additionally, carbamazepine may exacerbate preexisting cases of hypothyroidism, so yearly thyroid function tests are advisable for persons taking the drug.

Grapefruit juice raises the bioavailability of carbamazepine by inhibiting CYP3A4 enzymes in the gut wall and in the liver.


Carbamazepine itself is not pharmacologically active. It is activated, mainly by CYP3A4, to carbamazepine-10,11-[[epoxide]], which is solely responsible for the drug's anticonvulsant effects. The epoxide is then inactivated by microsomal epoxide hydrolase (mEH) to carbamazepine-''trans''-10,11-[[diol]] and further to its [[glucuronide]]s. Other metabolites include various [[hydroxyl]] derivatives and carbamazepine-''[[nitrogen|N]]''-glucuronide.<ref name="AC" />
==Pharmacokinetics==


The [[plasma half-life]] is about 35 to 40 hours when carbamazepine is given as single dose, but it is a strong [[enzyme inducer|inducer]] of liver enzymes, and the plasma half-life shortens to about 12 to 17 hours when it is given repeatedly. The half-life can be further shortened to 9–10 hours by other enzyme inducers such as [[phenytoin]] or [[phenobarbital]]. About 70% are excreted via the urine, almost exclusively in form of its metabolites, and 30% via the faeces.<ref name="PubChem" /><ref name="AC" />
Carbamazepine exhibits autoinduction: it [[regulation of gene expression|induces]] the expression of the hepatic microsomal enzyme system [[CYP3A4]], which metabolizes carbamazepine itself. Upon initiation of carbamazepine therapy, concentrations are predictable and follow their respective baseline clearance/half-life values that have been established for the specific patient. However, after enough carbamazepine has been presented to the liver tissue, the CYP3A4 activity increases, speeding up drug clearance and shortening the half-life. Autoinduction will continue with subsequent increases in dose but will usually reach a plateau within 5–7 days of a maintenance dose. Increases in dose at a rate of 200&nbsp;mg every 1–2 weeks may be required to achieve a stable seizure threshold. Stable carbamazepine concentrations occur usually within 2–3 weeks after initiation of therapy.<ref>{{cite book|last=Bauer |first=Larry A. |title=[[Applied Clinical Pharmacokinetics]] |edition=2<sup>nd</sup> |year=2008 |publisher=[[McGraw-Hill]]|isbn=978-0-8385-0388-1}}</ref>

== Mechanism of action ==

The mechanism of action of carbamazepine and its derivatives is relatively well understood. [[Voltage-gated sodium channel]]s are the molecular pores that allow brain cells ([[neuron]]s) to generate [[action potential]]s, the electrical events that allow [[neuron]]s to communicate over long distances. After the sodium channels open to start the action potential, they inactivate, in essence closing the channel. Carbamazepine stabilizes the inactivated state of sodium channels, meaning that fewer of these channels are available to subsequently open, making brain cells less excitable (less likely to fire).
Carbamazepine has also been shown to potentiate GABA receptors made up of alpha1, beta2, gamma2 subunits.<ref>Granger, P. et al. Modulation of the gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor by the antiepileptic drugs carbamazepine and phenytoin. Mol. Pharmacol. 47, 1189–1196 (1995).</ref>

== Society and culture ==
In 1971, Drs. Takezaki and Hanaoka first used carbamazepine to control mania in patients refractory to antipsychotics ([[Lithium pharmacology|Lithium]] was not available in Japan at that time). Dr. Okuma, working independently, did the same thing with success. As they were also epileptologists, they had some familiarity with the anti-aggression effects of this drug. Carbamazepine would be studied for bipolar disorder throughout the 1970s.<ref name="pmid9682927">{{cite journal |author=Okuma T, Kishimoto A |title=A history of investigation on the mood stabilizing effect of carbamazepine in Japan |journal=Psychiatry Clin.

Carbamazepine, sold under the brand name Tegretol among others, is an anticonvulsant medication used in the treatment of epilepsy and neuropathic pain.[4][1] It is used as an adjunctive treatment in schizophrenia along with other medications and as a second-line agent in bipolar disorder.[6][1] Carbamazepine appears to work as well as phenytoin and valproate for focal and generalized seizures.[7] It is not effective for absence or myoclonic seizures.[1]

Carbamazepine was discovered in 1953 by Swiss chemist Walter Schindler.[8][9] It was first marketed in 1962.[10] It is available as a generic medication.[11] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.[12] In 2020, it was the 185th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 2 million prescriptions.[13][14]

Photoswitchable analogues of carbamazepine have been developed to control its pharmacological activity locally and on demand using light (photopharmacology), with the purpose of reducing the adverse systemic effects of the drug.[15] One of these light-regulated compounds (carbadiazocine, based on a bridged azobenzene or diazocine) has been shown to produce analgesia with noninvasive illumination in vivo in a rat model of neuropathic pain.

Medical uses

[edit]
Tegretol 200-mg CR (made in NZ)

Carbamazepine is typically used for the treatment of seizure disorders and neuropathic pain.[1] It is used off-label as a second-line treatment for bipolar disorder and in combination with an antipsychotic in some cases of schizophrenia when treatment with a conventional antipsychotic alone has failed.[1][16] However, evidence does not support its usage for schizophrenia.[17] It is not effective for absence seizures or myoclonic seizures.[1] Although carbamazepine may have a similar effectiveness (as measured by people continuing to use a medication) and efficacy (as measured by the medicine reducing seizure recurrence and improving remission) when compared to phenytoin and valproate, choice of medication should be evaluated on an individual basis as further research is needed to determine which medication is most helpful for people with newly-onset seizures.[7]

In the United States, carbamazepine is indicated for the treatment of epilepsy (including partial seizures, generalized tonic-clonic seizures and mixed seizures), and trigeminal neuralgia.[4][18] Carbamazepine is the only medication that is approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia.[19]

As of 2014, a controlled release formulation was available for which there is tentative evidence showing fewer side effects and unclear evidence with regard to whether there is a difference in efficacy.[20]

It has also been shown to improve symptoms of "typewriter tinnitus", a type of tinnitus caused by the neurovascular compression of the cochleovestibular nerve. [21]

Adverse effects

[edit]

In the US, the label for carbamazepine contains warnings concerning:[4]

Common adverse effects may include drowsiness, dizziness, headaches and migraines, ataxia, nausea, vomiting, and/or constipation. Alcohol use while taking carbamazepine may lead to enhanced depression of the central nervous system.[5] Less common side effects may include increased risk of seizures in people with mixed seizure disorders,[25] abnormal heart rhythms, blurry or double vision.[5] Also, rare case reports of an auditory side effect have been made, whereby patients perceive sounds about a semitone lower than previously; this unusual side effect is usually not noticed by most people, and disappears after the person stops taking carbamazepine.[26]

Pharmacogenetics

[edit]

Serious skin reactions such as Stevens–Johnson syndrome (SJS) or toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) due to carbamazepine therapy are more common in people with a particular human leukocyte antigen gene-variant (allele), HLA-B*1502.[5] Odds ratios for the development of SJS or TEN in people who carry the allele can be in the double, triple or even quadruple digits, depending on the population studied.[27][28] HLA-B*1502 occurs almost exclusively in people with ancestry across broad areas of Asia, but has a very low or absent frequency in European, Japanese, Korean and African populations.[5][29] However, the HLA-A*31:01 allele has been shown to be a strong predictor of both mild and severe adverse reactions, such as the DRESS form of severe cutaneous reactions, to carbamazepine among Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Europeans.[28][30] It is suggested that carbamazepine acts as a potent antigen that binds to the antigen-presenting area of HLA-B*1502 alike, triggering an everlasting activation signal on immature CD8-T cells, thus resulting in widespread cytotoxic reactions like SJS/TEN.[31]

Interactions

[edit]

Carbamazepine has a potential for drug interactions.[18] Drugs that decrease breaking down of carbamazepine or otherwise increase its levels include erythromycin,[32] cimetidine, propoxyphene, and calcium channel blockers.[18] Grapefruit juice raises the bioavailability of carbamazepine by inhibiting the enzyme CYP3A4 in the gut wall and in the liver.[5] Lower levels of carbamazepine are seen when administered with phenobarbital, phenytoin, or primidone, which can result in breakthrough seizure activity.[33]

Valproic acid and valnoctamide both inhibit microsomal epoxide hydrolase (mEH), the enzyme responsible for the breakdown of the active metabolite carbamazepine-10,11-epoxide into inactive metabolites.[34] By inhibiting mEH, valproic acid and valnoctamide cause a build-up of the active metabolite, prolonging the effects of carbamazepine and delaying its excretion.

Carbamazepine, as an inducer of cytochrome P450 enzymes, may increase clearance of many drugs, decreasing their concentration in the blood to subtherapeutic levels and reducing their desired effects.[33] Drugs that are more rapidly metabolized with carbamazepine include warfarin, lamotrigine, phenytoin, theophylline, valproic acid,[18] many benzodiazepines,[35] and methadone.[36] Carbamazepine also increases the metabolism of the hormones in birth control pills and can reduce their effectiveness, potentially leading to unexpected pregnancies.[18]

Pharmacology

[edit]

Mechanism of action

[edit]

Carbamazepine is a sodium channel blocker.[37] It binds preferentially to voltage-gated sodium channels in their inactive conformation, which prevents repetitive and sustained firing of an action potential. Carbamazepine has effects on serotonin systems but the relevance to its antiseizure effects is uncertain. There is evidence that it is a serotonin releasing agent and possibly even a serotonin reuptake inhibitor.[38][39][40] It has been suggested that carbamazepine can also block voltage-gated calcium channels, which will reduce neurotransmitter release.[41]

Pharmacokinetics

[edit]
Metabolism. Top: carbamazepine • middle: carbamazepine-10,11-epoxide, the active metabolite • bottom: carbamazepine-10,11-diol, an inactive metabolite, which is then glucuronidized

Carbamazepine is relatively slowly but practically completely absorbed after administration by mouth. Highest concentrations in the blood plasma are reached after 4 to 24 hours depending on the dosage form. Slow release tablets result in about 15% lower absorption and 25% lower peak plasma concentrations than ordinary tablets, as well as in less fluctuation of the concentration, but not in significantly lower minimum concentrations.[42][43]

In the circulation, carbamazepine itself comprises 20 to 30% of total residues. The remainder is in the form of metabolites; 70 to 80% of residues is bound to plasma proteins. Concentrations in breast milk are 25 to 60% of those in the blood plasma.[43]

Carbamazepine itself is not pharmacologically active. It is activated, mainly by CYP3A4, to carbamazepine-10,11-epoxide, which is solely responsible for the drug's anticonvulsant effects. The epoxide is then inactivated by microsomal epoxide hydrolase (mEH) to carbamazepine-trans-10,11-diol and further to its glucuronides. Other metabolites include various hydroxyl derivatives and carbamazepine-N-glucuronide.[43]

The plasma half-life is about 35 to 40 hours when carbamazepine is given as single dose, but it is a strong inducer of liver enzymes, and the plasma half-life shortens to about 12 to 17 hours when it is given repeatedly. The half-life can be further shortened to 9–10 hours by other enzyme inducers such as phenytoin or phenobarbital. About 70% are excreted via the urine, almost exclusively in form of its metabolites, and 30% via the faeces.[42][43]

History

[edit]

Carbamazepine was discovered by chemist Walter Schindler at J.R. Geigy AG (now part of Novartis) in Basel, Switzerland, in 1953.[44][45] It was first marketed as a drug to treat epilepsy in Switzerland in 1963 under the brand name Tegretol; its use for trigeminal neuralgia (formerly known as tic douloureux) was introduced at the same time.[44] It has been used as an anticonvulsant and antiepileptic in the United Kingdom since 1965, and has been approved in the United States since 1968.[1]

Carbamazepine was studied for bipolar disorder throughout the 1970s.[46]

Society and culture

[edit]

Environmental impact

[edit]

Carbamazepine and its bio-transformation products have been detected in wastewater treatment plant effluent[47]: 224  and in streams receiving treated wastewater.[48] Field and laboratory studies have been conducted to understand the accumulation of carbamazepine in food plants grown in soil treated with sludge, which vary with respect to the concentrations of carbamazepine present in sludge and in the concentrations of sludge in the soil. Taking into account only studies that used concentrations commonly found in the environment, a 2014 review concluded that "the accumulation of carbamazepine into plants grown in soil amended with biosolids poses a de minimis risk to human health according to the approach."[47]: 227 

Brand names

[edit]

Carbamazepine is available worldwide under many brand names including Tegretol.[49]
