摘要
The effect of aging on carbamazepine (CBZ) plasma level/dose ratio was evaluated retrospectively in 15 children who were receiving CBZ monotherapy and who were followed up for at least 3 years. Subjects of the study were selected from a population of roughly 4,500 patients attending our therapeutic drug monitoring service during a 12-year period. Results showed that the CBZ plasma level/dose ratio increases within subject during childhood, in agreement with data obtained in between-patient studies. However, the increase is not linear with age, the greatest modifications being observed between 9 and 13 years of age. Weight gain alone does not seem to explain this finding, implicating the involvement of complex physiological changes occurring during puberty.
