Take Control of Your Epilepsy Treatment with Accurate Carbamazepine Monitoring
Living with epilepsy requires careful medication management, and we understand the anxiety that comes with wondering if your treatment is working effectively. Our Carbamazepine Free Level Test provides the precise information you and your neurologist need to ensure your medication is at the optimal therapeutic level – giving you confidence in your treatment journey.
Understanding Your Carbamazepine Free Level Test
Carbamazepine is a vital medication for managing epilepsy and seizure disorders, but getting the dosage right is crucial. The free level refers to the active, unbound medication in your bloodstream that’s actually available to work in your body. Unlike total drug levels, free levels give a more accurate picture of how much medication is truly active and therapeutic.
Using advanced LC-MS/MS technology, we measure this critical parameter with exceptional accuracy, helping your healthcare provider make informed decisions about your treatment.
Who Should Consider This Essential Test?
This test is particularly important if you’re experiencing:
- Breakthrough seizures despite taking medication regularly
- Medication side effects like dizziness, nausea, or coordination problems
- Recent dosage changes in your Carbamazepine prescription
- Concerns about medication effectiveness or potential toxicity
- Planning pregnancy while on epilepsy medication
- Adding new medications that might interact with Carbamazepine
Many patients in Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban find this test invaluable for maintaining optimal seizure control.
