Resumo

Both drugs have anticholinergic activity, and clozapine already causes constipation that can progress to severe gastrointestinal hypomotility or ileus. Adding darifenacin raises the risk of constipation, urinary retention, tachycardia and cognitive effects. Darifenacin may also modestly increase clozapine exposure by CYP2D6 inhibition.

O que esta interação significa em palavras simples

Clozapine and Darifenacin 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.

Clozapine belongs to Central Nervous System; Darifenacin belongs to Genitourinary.

Nível de evidência: Moderate

Por que acontece

Additive antimuscarinic effects, with possible CYP2D6 inhibition by darifenacin raising clozapine levels.
