Concentrations of carbamazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital, and primidone have been measured by high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) in serums of 177 Sri Lankan epileptic patients. Relationships between concentrations and dose per kg body weight of these drugs have been compared with those of patients in the Netherlands, using a matching procedure. Although variabilities in dose-concentration ratios were somewhat larger in Sri Lanka than in the Netherlands, no evidence was found of a systematic difference in pharmacokinetics between both populations.

Pollution in marine creeks has been increasing due to anthropogenic activities and has been a global concern. Limited research has been conducted on pharmaceuticals in marine sediment and macroalgae in African countries. In the present study, the levels of pharmaceuticals were assessed in surface sediment and different species of macroalgae (ulvophyceae; Cladophora sudanensis, Chaetomorpha crassa, Chaetomorpha indica, Enteromorpha kylinii, Ulva reticulate, Ulva lactuca and Cladophora sibugae) in Mombasa peri-urban creeks (Tudor, Makupa and Mtwapa creek) and Gazi bay during dry and wet seasons.

This study examines pharmaceutical residues in the seawater of west Spitsbergen fjords, using indicator compounds that represent different types of medications with various therapeutic uses (sulfamethoxazole, trimethoprim, carbamazepine, diclofenac, and caffeine). Over three years (summer 2018-2021), trimethoprim, carbamazepine, diclofenac, and caffeine were detected in the investigated fjords (Hornsund, Adventfjorden, Grønnfjorden, Isfjorden, and Kongsfjorden), with diclofenac and caffeine being the most common. Sulfamethoxazole was below the limit of detection in all samples.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the anticonvulsant efficacy of carbamazepine (CBZ) following acute and chronic administration across four treatment protocols in a murine model of maximal electroshock-induced seizures. A single dose of the drug was utilized as a control. The neurotoxic effects were evaluated in the chimney test and the passive avoidance task.
