Carbamazepine (CBZ)-induced water intoxication occasionally limits its usefulness in refractory seizures and trigeminal neuralgia. Fluid restriction, CBZ dose reduction, or concomitant phenytoin therapy may be impractical or ineffective. Demeclocycline (7-chloro-6 demethyl tetracycline) (DMC) corrected the CBZ-induced water intoxication in a 51-year-old man with refractory complex partial seizures and a normal antidiuretic hormone (ADH) level. DMC inhibits ADH-sensitive adenylate cyclase activity in the renal collecting duct and may be useful in correcting the ADH-like or renal antidiuretic effect of CBZ.
