Published: June 2013

A method for the analysis of the basic antiepileptic compounds felbamate, lamotrigine, carbamazepine, carbamazepine-10,11-epoxide, gabapentin, pregabalin, levetiracetam, and oxcarbazepine monohydroxy derivative (oxcarb MHD) in human plasma is described. This protocol incorporates a simplified sample preparation step followed by quantitative high performance chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry detection of commonly prescribed and monitored anticonvulsant drugs. Since polytherapy is common in epilepsy patients, use of a multiconstituent assay can improve laboratory efficiency and reduce required analytical time.
