Consumer:

Consumer information for this minor interaction is not currently available. Some minor drug interactions may not be clinically relevant in all patients. Minor drug interactions do not usually cause harm or require a change in therapy. However, your healthcare provider can determine if adjustments to your medications are needed.

Professional:

Coadministration of lamotrigine (200 mg once daily) and oxcarbazepine (600 mg twice daily) does not appear to affect the pharmacokinetics of either drug compared to administration of the drugs individually. However, limited clinical data suggest a higher incidence of headache, dizziness, nausea, and somnolence during concomitant use than when either drug is administered alone.
