Resumo

Imipenem-containing regimens rapidly lower valproate concentrations and can cause loss of seizure control. The reduction can persist after the carbapenem is stopped and is hard to counter with valproate dose increases.

O que esta interação significa em palavras simples

Imipenem / cilastatin / relebactam and Valproic acid 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.

Nível de evidência: High

Por que acontece

Carbapenems inhibit acylpeptide hydrolase, blocking hydrolysis of valproate glucuronide back to valproate, and possibly reduce its absorption or increase its distribution into red cells.

O que fazer

Avoid the combination and choose a non-carbapenem antibiotic. If unavoidable, give alternative anticonvulsant cover and monitor valproate levels and seizures.
