Pharmacokinetics of Paracetamol and Antiepileptic Drugs After Sleeve Gastrectomy
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Sleeve gastrectomy may affect drug pharmacokinetics in several potential ways. We will measure pharmakokinetics of paracetamol and antiepileptic drugs before and 6 months after sleeve gastrectomy.

Detailed Description
Sleeve gastrectomy may affect drug pharmacokinetics in several potential ways. We will measure pharmakokinetics of paracetamol (in consenting subjects that are undergoing sleeve gastrectomy) and antiepileptic drugs (in consenting subjects that are chronically treated by a stable dose) before and 6 months after sleeve gastrectomy in 10 subjects.
Blood tests will be taken for drug levels before and 4-8 times after the subject takes the drug. A pharmacokinetic curve will be calculated and compared for each subject between prior to surgery and after surgery.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: paracetamol 10 participants will undergo measurement of paracetamol levels before and after sleeve gastrectomy |
Drug: Paracetamol
single dose of 1 gr paracetamol
|
Experimental: antiepileptic drug Up to 10 participants in each drug (up to 4 medications, total of up to 40 participants) will undergo measurement of levels of their chronic medication after a dose before and after sleeve gastrectomy |
Drug: Antiepileptic (either carbamazepine, lamotrigine, phenytoin or valproic acid)
Single dose of antiepileptic drug (either carbamazepine, lamotrigine, phenytoin or valproic acid) for which the participant is taking chronically in stable dose
