LTG CL in monotherapy in older adults is approximately 20% lower than in younger adults. For a given serum LTG level, older adults are twice as likely to have significant adverse effects compared to younger adults. Older patients are more likely to experience imbalance, drowsiness, and tremor than younger patients. Younger adults tolerate LTG better than older adults, but one-year retention is comparable. Some patients may benefit from high serum levels of LTG.
