Relevance: 01.12.2022 Reviewer: Shkutko P.M., M.D., in

In the database of official manuals used in the service creation an interaction registered by statistical results of studies was found, which can either lead to negative consequences for the patient health or strengthen a mutual positive effect. A doctor should be consulted to address the issue of joint drug administration.

Consumer:

Secobarbital may reduce the blood levels of pimavanserin, which may make the medication less effective in treating your condition. Contact your doctor if your symptoms worsen or your condition changes during treatment with these medications. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact, or you may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring to safely use both medications. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

Professional:

MONITOR: Coadministration with inducers of CYP450 3A4 may decrease the plasma concentrations of pimavanserin, which is primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. However, the interaction has not been studied clinically.

MANAGEMENT: The possibility of diminished therapeutic response to pimavanserin should be considered during coadministration with CYP450 3A4 inducers, particularly potent ones like carbamazepine, lumacaftor, mitotane, phenobarbital, phenytoin, rifampin, and St. John's wort. Pharmacologic response to pimavanserin should be monitored more closely whenever a CYP450 3A4 inducer is added to or withdrawn from therapy, and the dosage adjusted as necessary.
