Abstract
The antiseizure effect of tested combinations was not sex-dependent and not reversed by hydrocortisone pretreatment. Pharmacokinetic events may be involved only in the interaction between spironolactone and carbamazepine. Among various chemoconvulsants, bicuculline reversed the action of aminoglutethimide on carbamazepine and diphenylhydantoin. The effect of aminoglutethimide on diphenylhydantoin was also abolished by N-methyl-d-aspartic acid and aminophylline. In conclusion, our results suggest that doses of carbamazepine and diphenylhydantoin should be modified in epileptic patients concomitantly treated with aminoglutethimide or spironolactone.
