Adding aripiprazole to carbamazepine.

Infobord.png General information
  • Carbamazepine is principally metabolized by CYP3A4, and is a potent inducer of CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP3A4 and UDP-glucuronosyltransferases.
  • Aripiprazole is metabolized by CYP2D6 and CYP3A4 to an active metabolite.
  • This combination of drugs may have possible synergistic effects. However, the pharmacokinetic drug interactions will influence the plasma levels. Dose adaptation will be recommended for this combination.
Eenrichtingbord.png Start aripiprazole
  • Coadministration with carbamazepine may decrease the plasma concentrations of aripiprazole via induction of CYP450 3A4.
  • Aripiprazole should be given at higher dosage to control psychotic symptoms. [5]
Letopbord.png Cave
  • Pharmacologic response and plasma aripiprazole levels should be monitored more closely whenever carbamazepine is added to or withdrawn from therapy. [5]
