Pharmacokinetic Interactions Carbamazepine Carbamazepine is an inducer of CYP3A4; administration of 200 mg twice daily for 21 days resulted in a decrease of approximately 35% in the AUC of ziprasidone. (Ziprasidone label, Drug interactions)
CYP3A4 Inducers If co-administration with a potent CYP3A4 inducer is necessary, the patient should be closely monitored and the dose of ZONISAMIDE and other drugs that CYP3A4 substrates may need to be adjusted [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . (Zonisamide label, Drug interactions)
