Homework Answers
Carbamazepine is a drug used to treat epilepsy and also used as mood stabilizer in bipolar disease, alleviate some nerve pain and also ease the alcohol withdrawal. Usually the drug is used on long term basis. The patient should check for the blood levels of carbamazepine on commencing the treatment, on changing the dosage, on stopping or not taking the drug, on recurrence of disease symptoms like seizure, nerve pain etc. The levels are monitored on regular intervals as per the clinician’s order. The normal therapeutic range is 4-12 mcg/ml and levels above 15mcg/ml are considered toxic.
The drug causes hepatotoxicity and Pancytopenia in patients. So the nurse can expect the clinician to order lab tests on regular intervals.
Complete Red cell count and White blood count , platelets, SGOT, SGPT, gamma GT, alkaline phosphatase, Serum Calcium, Serum Sodium are done on regular intervals like twice monthly.
