Hiperhomocisteinemia en pacientes tratados con antiepilépticos. Efecto de diferentes dosis de ácido fólico

Hyperhomocysteinemia is frequent in patients treated with antiepileptic drugs. Treatment with hepatic enzyme inductors and low folate values are predictors of hyperhomocysteinemia. Administration of folic acid, even at very low doses, produces a significant decrease of homocysteinemia in these patients.
