Ultimo aggiornamento Fonti: US FDA label

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

Fluvoxamine markedly raises tizanidine concentrations, producing severe hypotension, bradycardia, profound sedation and psychomotor impairment. Tizanidine labeling contraindicates concomitant use with strong CYP1A2 inhibitors such as fluvoxamine. The effect is large and well documented.

Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici

Fluvoxamine and Tizanidine are not normally used together. Taking them at the same time is expected to cause harm or make one of them unsafe, so a different medicine is usually chosen for one of the two.

Fluvoxamine belongs to Central Nervous System; Tizanidine belongs to Musculoskeletal.

Livello di evidenza: High

Perché avviene

Fluvoxamine is a potent CYP1A2 inhibitor and blocks the principal clearance pathway of tizanidine, causing a large increase in exposure.

Cosa fare

Do not combine. Use a different antispasticity or muscle-relaxant agent such as baclofen, or an antidepressant that does not strongly inhibit CYP1A2 (for example sertraline or escitalopram).

Cosa chiedere al farmacista

  • If both are essential, who is monitoring me and how often?
  • Which symptoms mean I should stop and seek help straight away?
