Professional:A retrospective study noted that the combined administration of felbamate and gabapentin may lead to a reduction in clearance and an increase in the half-life of felbamate. The mechanism may be due to a competition for renal excretion sites. The clinical significance is unknown. The clinician may want to more closely observe the patient for altered felbamate effects when gabapentin is started or stopped. The dose of felbamate may need to be adjusted if an interaction is suspected.
