* Gabapentine is eliminated unchanged by the kidney for 100%.
* Carbamazepine is principally metabolized by CYP3A4 (also CYP2C8), but is also a potent inducer of CYP1A2, CYP3A4 and UDP-glucuronosyltransferases.
* This combination of drugs may have possible synergistic effects. There are no reports for pharmacokinetic drug interactions. However, the combination will have additional side effects. <ref name=”freeman”> {{Pubmed|9433333|Freeman et al. Mood stabilizer Combinations: A Review of Safety and Efficacy.
