Decreased values for thyroid function tests have been observed with carbamazepine administration. One study reported decreased serum levels of T4, FT4, and T3. In that study, TSH concentrations were not significantly altered. Clinicians should be cognizant of these effects when prescribing or administering carbamazepine therapy to patients with thyroid disorders.
