MONITOR: Coadministration with lorcaserin may increase the plasma concentrations of drugs that are primarily metabolized by CYP450 2D6. The mechanism is decreased clearance due to inhibition of CYP450 2D6 activity by lorcaserin. In a study consisting of 21 CYP450 2D6 extensive metabolizers, administration of the probe substrate dextromethorphan in combination with lorcaserin 10 mg twice daily for 4 days increased dextromethorphan peak concentrations (Cmax) by approximately 76% and systemic exposure (AUC) by approximately 2-fold.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if lorcaserin is prescribed concomitantly with medications that undergo metabolism by CYP450 2D6, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic range. Dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring may be appropriate for some drugs whenever lorcaserin is added to or withdrawn from therapy.
