Resumo
Carbapenems, including imipenem, cause a rapid and marked fall in serum valproate concentrations. This can lead to loss of seizure control, and the effect may persist for days after stopping the carbapenem. Increasing the valproate dose does not reliably overcome it.
O que esta interação significa em palavras simples
Cilastatin-imipenem and Divalproex 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.
Por que acontece
Carbapenems inhibit acylpeptide hydrolase, reducing hydrolysis of valproate glucuronide back to valproate, and may also decrease valproate absorption and distribution into tissues.
O que fazer
Avoid the combination and use a non-carbapenem antibiotic. If a carbapenem is essential, add alternative anticonvulsant coverage and monitor valproate levels and seizure activity.
