Minor drug interactions do not usually cause harm or require a change in therapy. However, your healthcare provider can determine if adjustments to your medications are needed.
Professional:Individual case reports suggest that fluoxetine may increase valproate levels, perhaps by inhibiting the hepatic metabolism of valproate. Another study of two patients suggests that valproate may enhance the therapeutic effects of fluoxetine. The mechanism is unknown. Patients should be monitored for altered pharmacologic effects and increased valproic acid levels if these drugs are administered concomitantly.
