Saphris and Zileuton Tablets

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.

Zileuton may increase the blood levels of asenapine. You may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use both medications. Contact your doctor if your condition changes or you experience increased side effects. 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.

MONITOR: Coadministration with inhibitors of CYP450 1A2 may increase the plasma concentrations of asenapine, which is partially metabolized by the isoenzyme. According to the product labeling, administration of asenapine (5 mg single dose) in combination with the potent CYP450 1A2 inhibitor fluvoxamine (25 mg twice daily for 8 days) resulted in a 13% increase in asenapine peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and a 29% increase in systemic exposure (AUC). The full therapeutic dose of fluvoxamine would be expected to cause a greater increase in asenapine plasma concentrations.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if asenapine is prescribed in combination with CYP450 1A2 inhibitors. Pharmacologic response to asenapine should be monitored more closely whenever a CYP450 1A2 inhibitor is added to or withdrawn from therapy, and the asenapine dosage adjusted as necessary.
