Practical advice

Pregabalin is a CYP enzyme inducer/inhibitor that may affect Sacubitril/Valsartan blood levels. Maintain consistent dosing times. If seizure control changes or you notice new side effects, have drug levels checked.

Drug interactions can raise or lower antiepileptic blood levels. When to seek emergency help: Seizure lasting more than 5 minutes, clusters of seizures, difficulty breathing after a seizure, severe rash (especially with fever or blisters), severe dizziness or fainting, or signs of liver problems (yellowing skin, dark urine, severe nausea).
