Moderate

OXcarbazepine ARIPiprazole

Applies to: Trileptal (oxcarbazepine) and Abilify (aripiprazole)

MONITOR: Coadministration with inducers of CYP450 3A4 may decrease the plasma concentrations of aripiprazole and its active metabolite, dehydro-aripiprazole. Clinical and in vitro data indicate that aripiprazole is extensively metabolized in the liver primarily via three enzymatic pathways (dehydrogenation, hydroxylation, and N-dealkylation) mediated by CYP450 2D6 and 3A4. When aripiprazole 30 mg once daily was coadministered with the potent CYP450 3A4 inducer carbamazepine at 200 mg twice daily in schizophrenic patients, mean aripiprazole peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) decreased by 68% and 73%, respectively, compared to administration of aripiprazole alone. Likewise, mean Cmax and AUC of dehydro-aripiprazole were decreased by 69% and 71%, respectively, in the presence of carbamazepine. The interaction has not been studied with other, less potent inducers.

MANAGEMENT: Pharmacologic response to aripiprazole should be monitored more closely whenever a CYP450 3A4 inducer is added to or withdrawn from therapy, and the aripiprazole dosage adjusted as necessary. The prescribing information for individual aripiprazole products should be consulted for specific recommendations regarding concomitant use with CYP450 3A4 inducers.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

OXcarbazepine food

Applies to: Trileptal (oxcarbazepine)

GENERALLY AVOID: Alcohol may potentiate some of the pharmacologic effects of CNS-active agents. Use in combination may result in additive central nervous system depression and/or impairment of judgment, thinking, and psychomotor skills.

MANAGEMENT: Patients receiving CNS-active agents should be warned of this interaction and advised to avoid or limit consumption of alcohol. Ambulatory patients should be counseled to avoid hazardous activities requiring complete mental alertness and motor coordination until they know how these agents affect them, and to notify their physician if they experience excessive or prolonged CNS effects that interfere with their normal activities.

Drug Interaction Classification

These classifications are only a guideline. The relevance of a particular drug interaction to a specific individual is difficult to determine. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting or stopping any medication.
Major Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit.
Moderate Moderately clinically significant. Usually avoid combinations; use it only under special circumstances.
Minor Minimally clinically significant. Minimize risk; assess risk and consider an alternative drug, take steps to circumvent the interaction risk and/or institute a monitoring plan.
Unknown No interaction information available.
