Adding valproic acid to risperidone.

Infobord.png General information
  • Risperidone is principally metabolized by CYP2D6 to an active metabolite 9-OH-risperidone (paliperidone).
  • Valproic acid is principally metabolized by CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2A6 and UDP-glucuronosyltransferases. Valproic acid is an inhibitor of the enzymes CYP2C9, epoxide-hydroxylase and UDP-glucuronosyltransferases.
  • Risperidone is principally metabolized by CYP2D6 to an active metabolite.
  • Valproic acid is principally metabolized by CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2A6 and UDP-glucuronosyltransferases. Valproic acid is an inhibitor of the enzymes CYP2C9, epoxide-hydroxylase and UDP-glucuronosyltransferases.
  • This combination of drugs may have possible synergistic effects. However, this combination will also have additive side effects. Dose adaptation will be recommended for this combination.

  • Coadministration with risperidone may alter the serum concentrations of valproic acid, although data are conflicting.
  • Start valproic acid according to the general dosing advice.
Letopbord.png Cave
  • Dose-related generalised oedema is reported. [6]
  • Antipsychotics lower the seizure threshold and may antagonise the anticonvulsant effect of valproate. [7]
