Dr. Susan Rhoads answered

Specializes in Family Medicine

See below:: If you have the HLA-B 1502 gene, then you should never take the drugs carbamazepine, phenytoin, and maybe lamotrigine, as you are predisposed to have a serious reaction to it. See https://genesight.com/get-to-know-a-gene-hla-b1502-and-hla-a3101/ and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HLA-B
