Oxcarbazepine Metabolite, Serum

New Test in NOÛS Catalog
Test Code: 7630
Sample:
Serum (1 ml)
Conservation:
Refrigerated
Method:
High Performance Liquid Chromatography
Set Up Days:
Daily
Delivery term:
6 days
Information:
Oxcarbazepine is a chiral prodrug that is metabolized to 10-Hydroxycarbazepine,known commonly as monohydrosucarbamazepine, the metabolite responsible for the therapeutic effect. Oxcarbazepine is rapidly and completely absorbed, with a peak concentrations observed at 1 to 2 hours. The half-life os oxcarbazepine is approximately 2 hours. Concentrations of monohydroxycarbazepine peak at 3 to 5 hours, and the elimination halflife is 8 to 15 hours. Draw specimen immediately before next scheduled dose.
