Several different factors, including pharmacogenetics, contribute to interindividual variability in drug response. Like most other agents, many antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) are metabolised by a variety of enzymatic reactions, and the cytochrome P450 (CYP) superfamily has attracted considerable attention.
