FOLATES AND PHENOBARBITAL

If folic acid supplements are given to treat folate deficiency, which can be caused by the use of phenobarbital or primidone, the serum antiepileptic levels may fall, leading to decreased seizure control in some patients.
Monitor phenobarbital levels and adjust the dose accordingly.
