Infobord.png More information
  • Fluoxetine slows the metabolism of vortioxetine via CYP2D6, so caution is necessary for at least four weeks after stopping fluoxetine.
  • Occurrence of the serotonin syndrome is not likely, but theoretically possible, so caution is necessary.
  • This switch is currently being reviewed.
  1. Switches are based on literature references on this page and expert opinions of the authors. The authors have used pharmacokinetic and receptor affinity properties to determine the switch schedules
