Professional:MONITOR: Carbamazepine may cause clinically significant hyponatremia. Data show that the risk of hyponatremia may be additive when carbamazepine and hydrochlorothiazide are used concurrently. Carbamazepine and other diuretics may interact in a similar manner.
MANAGEMENT: Clinical monitoring of patient mental status and periodic measurement of serum sodium concentrations is recommended. Patients should be advised to notify their caregiver if they experience possible symptoms of hyponatremia such as nausea, vomiting, lethargy, weakness, muscle cramps, twitching, confusion, or seizures.
