The study was carried out in rabbits, to see the effects of Septilin, a herbal preparation on the single and multiple dose kinetics of carbamazepine. Single dose treatment of Septilin significantly decreased t 1/2a. t 1/2e. AUCo-alpha of carbamazepine. Steady state Cmax and AUC0-24 of carbamazepine were also reduced significantly in comparison to those of control rabbits after 7 days co-administration of Septilin. We conclude that Septilin decrease/hinder the absorption process of carbamazepine through an unknown mechanism.
