Ultimo aggiornamento

Per operatori sanitari — solo a scopo di riferimento. Questa pagina è una sintesi breve, non è un parere medico e non sostituisce il RCP ufficiale né il giudizio clinico. Verificare sempre prima di prescrivere o dispensare.

Il contenuto clinico di questa pagina è disponibile solo in inglese.

Sintesi

Mexiletine is metabolized partly by CYP1A2 and CYP2D6, and fluvoxamine strongly inhibits CYP1A2, so mexiletine exposure can increase. This raises the risk of neurologic and gastrointestinal adverse effects and proarrhythmia.

Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici

Fluvoxamine and Mexiletine can interact in a way that may be serious. Using them together is sometimes necessary, but it needs a deliberate decision by the prescriber, a plan for monitoring, and clear advice on the warning signs to watch for.

Fluvoxamine belongs to Central Nervous System; Mexiletine belongs to Cardiovascular.

Livello di evidenza: Moderate

Perché avviene

Fluvoxamine inhibits CYP1A2 (and to a lesser extent other enzymes), reducing mexiletine clearance.

Cosa fare

Reduce the mexiletine dose and monitor for toxicity and ECG changes, or choose an alternative antidepressant that does not inhibit CYP1A2.

Cosa chiedere al farmacista

  • Does the benefit of taking both outweigh the risk in my case?
  • Do I need any blood test, ECG or other check while on both?
  • What early warning signs should I watch for, and what should I do if they appear?
