Contraindications for Felbatol
Physicians and patients must read the black box warning in the package insert. Because of the risk of fatal aplastic anemia and liver failure, use should be reserved for patients in whom the risk-benefit ratio is favorable.
Patients who are allergic to felbamate or to other carbamates should not take Felbatol. Neither should those who have had any liver disease, blood disorder, or autoimmune disease.
