Resumo

Meropenem markedly reduces serum valproate concentrations, and breakthrough seizures have been reported. Vaborbactam is not the cause, but the meropenem component makes the combination hazardous.

O que esta interação significa em palavras simples

Meropenem / vaborbactam 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, preventing hydrolysis of valproate glucuronide back to valproate, and may reduce absorption or increase red cell uptake.

O que fazer

Avoid the combination and use a non-carbapenem antibiotic. If a carbapenem is essential, add alternative anticonvulsant cover and monitor valproate levels closely.
