You may need a dose adjustment or special test if you take both medications. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

GENERALLY AVOID: Carbamazepine may decrease cyclosporine serum concentrations to subtherapeutic levels due to induction of hepatic metabolism of cyclosporine.

MANAGEMENT: This combination should be avoided in patients where maintenance of therapeutic cyclosporine levels is critical. Cyclosporine serum concentrations should be monitored when carbamazepine is added to or discontinued from the patient's regimen, or when the carbamazepine dosage is changed. Patients should be carefully monitored for lack of therapeutic effect. The dosage of cyclosporine may need to be increased.
