Assessment of Potential Drug Interactions in Patients with Epilepsy: Impact of Age and Sex
Neurol 72:419-425, Gidal,B.E.,et al, 2009
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Polypharmacy with non-antiepileptic drug (AED) medications is common in both men and women, and is not a situation unique to only elderly patients with epilepsy. In particular, use of potentially interacting, enzyme inducing AEDs was common. These findings suggest that clinicians must be mindful of potential AED-non-AED drug interactions, in patients of all age groups.
