Interação entre Clobazam e Pimozida

Prescribe the lowest effective dosage; avoid or minimize concomitant use of CNS depressants and other substances associated with abuse, misuse, and addiction (e.g., opioid analgesics, stimulants); and advise patients on the proper disposal of unused drug.

Risk may be increased with concomitant use of other CNS depressants ( 5.4 , 5.5 )

Potentiation of Sedation from Concomitant Use with Central Nervous System Depressants Since SYMPAZAN ® has a central nervous system (CNS) depressant effect, patients or their caregivers should be cautioned against simultaneous use with other CNS depressant drugs or alcohol, and cautioned that the effects of other CNS depressant drugs or alcohol may be potentiated…

Prescribers should monitor patients for somnolence and sedation, particularly with concomitant use of other central nervous system depressants.

CNS Depressants and Alcohol Concomitant use of SYMPAZAN ® with other CNS depressants may increase the risk of sedation and somnolence [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ].

Concomitant use of pimozide with paroxetine and other strong CYP 2D6 inhibitors is contraindicated (See PRECAUTIONS – DRUG INTERACTIONS ).

Concomitant use of pimozide and paroxetine or other strong CYP 2D6 inhibitors are contraindicated (see CONTRAINDICATIONS ).

CYP 2D6 inhibitors: In healthy subjects, co-administration of pimozide 2 mg (single dose) and paroxetine 60 mg resulted in a 151% increase in pimozide AUC and a 62% increase in pimozide C max compared to pimozide administered alone.

Pimozide may be capable of potentiating CNS depressants, including analgesics, sedatives, anxiolytics, and alcohol.

The concentrations observed in poor CYP 2D6 metabolizers are similar to those seen with strong CYP 2D6 inhibitors such as paroxetine.
