The steady state pharmacokinetics of oral carbamazepine in epileptic patients (n = 8) was compared before and after one week of treatment with josamycin (2 g/day). There was a small but statistically significant decrease in oral clearance of total (17%) and unbound (21.5%) drug. In spite of an unchanged AUC of 10,11-epoxide carbamazepine the ratio of metabolite to parent drug AUC was significantly decreased (20.2%). The plasma protein binding of carbamazepine and its 10,11-epoxide metabolite did not vary. The results demonstrate impairment by josamycin of the apparent clearance of carbamazepine. Care should be taken in patient receiving both carbamazepine and josamycin.
