Switch medication from hypericum to agomelatine.[1] [2]
Stop hypericum - Day 1: Stop hypericum.
- The administration of hypericum can be stopped abruptly. Induction of CYP enzymes will last at least 14 more days.
Start agomelatine- Day 1: simultaneously start administration of agomelatine in a dosage of 25 mg/day.[3]
- If necessary, increase dosage of agomelatine to 50 mg/day.
More information- Hypericum induces CYP1A2, which metabolizes agomelatine
- Hypericum induces enzymes of the CYP P-450 type and P-gp type.
- Hypericum might have MAO-inhibiting and/or COMT-inhibiting properties.
- Many studies reported that hypericin is the main source of pharmacological effects of hypericum. However the IC50 of hypericin to inhibit MAO A and MAO B is 100- to 1000-fold higher than accessible Cmax values of hypericin after oral administration of hypericum.[4]
