Adding aripiprazole to valproic acid.
General information- 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.
- Aripiprazole is metabolized by CYP2D6 and CYP3A4 to an active metabolite.
Start aripiprazole- Start according to the general dosing advice.
Cave- Central nervous system- and/or respiratory-depressant effects may be additively or synergistically increased in patients taking multiple drugs that cause these effects, especially in elderly or debilitated patients.[4]
- Antipsychotics lower the seizure threshold and may antagonise the anticonvulsant effect of valproate. [5]
