Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Concomitant use of meropenem (MEPM) can dramatically decrease valproic acid (VPA) plasma level. It is accepted that inhibition in acylpeptide hydrolase (APEH) activity by MEPM coadministration was the trigger of this drug-drug interaction. AIM: To investigate the influence of APEH genetic polymorphisms on VPA plasma concentration in Chinese epilepsy patients. PATIENTS & METHODS: Urinary VPA-d6...
