Information concerning the prescriptions for theophylline preparations for a group of 80 inpatients and 55 outpatients were examined. Slow-release preparations were overwhelmingly preferred.

The case is reported of a patient with suspected carbamazepine toxicity presenting as progression of symptoms of primary brain tumour. A comparison is made of the symptoms and signs of toxicity versus tumour, and an aid for deciding when to perform therapeutic drug level monitoring for some common drugs.
