A member asked:

Does trileptal have the same concerns of anemia and bone marrow suppression as tegretol?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Less likely but: Similar drug chemically, and claimed to have fewer adverse reactions, but still could affect bone marrow, just less often. Still can result in liver toxicity, low serum sodium, elevated cholesterol, and drowsiness/dizziness issues. Remember "oxcarbazine" is a rather old drug, is generic, and likely not as well tolerated as newer anti-epileptic products.
