What the laboratory says this test is for
Carbamazepine and its metabolite (10,11-carbamazepine epoxide) are widely used for control of generalized tonic-clonic, partial-onset, complex and mixed seizure disorders. The metabolism of carbamazepine in epileptic patients has several different pathways that can be altered when the patient is co-medicated with other anticonvulsants and, therefore, it's therapeutic level should be monitored along with its metabolite in their free and protein bound states.
