The potential for CNS depression may enhanced when felbamate is used together with fencamfamin
When felbamate is used together with niaprazine, the risk or seriousness of CNS depression is enhanced
When felbamate is used together with levosulpiride, the risk or seriousness of CNS depression is enhanced
When dexrabeprazole and felbamate is used together, this leads to reduction in the dexrabeprazole’s metabolism
When acetohexamide is used together with felbamate, this lead to reduction in acetohexamide’s metabolism

when both drugs are combined, there may be an increased metabolism of paclitaxel
the effect of felbamate is decreased by lorlatinib, by altering intestinal or hepatic CYP3A4 enzyme metabolism
When felbamate is used together with lomitapide, this leads to an enhancement in lomitapide’s metabolism
