Clinical Pharmacology

Duloxetine Inhibits serotonin and noadrenaline reuptake, resulting in increased serotonergic and noradrenergic neurotransmission in the central nervous system. Weakly inhibits the capture of dopamine, not having significant affinity for histaminergic, dopaminergic, cholinergic and adrenergic receptors.
Duloxetine has a central mechanism for the suppression of pain, which is primarily manifested by an increase in pain sensitivity in pain syndrome of neuropathic etiology.
Pharmacokinetics: Well absorbed when taken orally. Absorption begins 2 hours after taking the drug. TCmax - 6 hours. Eating does not affect the value of Cmax, but increases TCmax up to 10 hours, which indirectly reduces the degree of absorption (approximately by 11%).
Communication with plasma proteins - more than 90% (mainly with albumin and acid alpha1-glycoprotein). Renal and hepatic impairment do not affect protein binding.
Actively metabolized, metabolites do not possess pharmacological activity and are mainly excreted in the urine.
Both CYP2D6 and CYP1A2 catalyze the formation of two major metabolites (glucuronic conjugate 4-hydroxiduloxetine, sulfate conjugate 5-hydroxy, 6-methoxydioxetine).
T1 / 2 - 12 h, clearance - 101 l / h.
Differences in pharmacokinetics were found in men and women (duloxetine clearance is lower in women), as well as in middle-aged and elderly patients (increased AUC and T1 / 2 in the elderly), but this does not require dose adjustment depending on gender or age of patients.
In patients with end-stage chronic renal failure, who are on hemodialysis, Сmax and AUC of duloxetine increase by 2 times.
In patients with clinical signs of liver failure, a slowdown in metabolism and duloxetine elimination is observed. After a single dose of 20 mg of duloxetine in 6 patients with cirrhosis of the liver with moderate liver dysfunction (Child-Pyugu class B), the duloxetine clearance increased by 15%, AUC - 5 times, T1 / 2 - 3 times, Cmax did not change .

Contraindications

Hypersensitivity, liver disease, accompanied by liver failure, simultaneous use of non-selective irreversible MAO inhibitors, potent inhibitors of CYP1A2 (fluvoxamine, ciprofloxacin, enoxacin), severe CRF (CC less than 30 ml / min), unsuperfluid periodypodipation, etc. no application experience).
For LF containing sucrose (optional): congenital fructose intolerance, glucose-galactose malabsorption, sucrose-isomaltase deficiency.
Carefully. Mania and bipolar disorder (including history), convulsions (including history), intraocular hypertension or the risk of developing an acute attack of angle-closure glaucoma, suicidal thoughts and attempts at anamnesis, increased risk of hyponatremia (elderly patients, cirrhosis liver, dehydration, diuretic), pregnancy.

Drug interactions

The simultaneous use of duloxetine (60 mg 2 times a day) had no significant effect on the pharmacokinetics of theophylline, metabolized by CYP1A2.
Simultaneous administration of duloxetine with potential inhibitors of CYP1A2 may lead to an increase in duloxetine concentration. The CYP1A2 inhibitor fluvoxamine (100 mg 1 time per day) reduces the plasma clearance of duloxetine by about 77% and increases AUC 6 times, so duloxetine should not be used in combination with potential CYP1A2 inhibitors, such as fluvoxamine.
Duloxetine is a moderate inhibitor of CYP2D6. When taking duloxetine in a dose of 60 mg 2 times a day along with a single dose of desipramine (CYP2D6 substrate), the AUC of desipramine increases 3 times. Simultaneous administration of duloxetine (40 mg 2 times a day) increases the AUC of tolterodine (2 mg 2 times a day) by 71%, but does not affect the pharmacokinetics of the 5-hydroxyl metabolite. Caution must be exercised when using duloxetine with drugs that are metabolized mainly by the CYP2D6 system and have a narrow therapeutic index.
The simultaneous use of duloxetine with potential inhibitors of CYP2D6 can lead to an increase in duloxetine concentrations.
Paroxetine (20 mg 1 time per day) reduces the clearance of duloxetine by approximately 37%. When using duloxetine with CYP2D6 inhibitors, caution should be exercised.
Caution should be exercised when using duloxetine simultaneously with other drugs that affect the central nervous system (including benzodiazepines, antipsychotic drugs, phenobarbital, antihistamine drugs with sedative effect, ethanol), especially with a similar mechanism of action.
The simultaneous use of duloxetine with drugs, highly associated with plasma proteins, can lead to an increase in the concentration of free fractions of both drugs.
In patients receiving a serotonin reuptake inhibitor in combination with non-selective irreversible MAO inhibitors, there have been cases of severe adverse reactions (hyperthermia, muscle rigidity, myoclonus, peripheral abnormalities with possible sharp fluctuations in vital signs and changes in mental status, including pronounced stimulation with transition delirium and to whom) is sometimes fatal. These reactions were also observed in patients who, shortly before prescribing an MAO inhibitor, a serotonin reuptake inhibitor was canceled. In some cases, patients had symptoms characteristic of neuroleptic malignant syndrome. The effects of the combined use of duloxetine and MAO inhibitors have not been evaluated in humans or animals.Therefore, given the fact that duloxetine is an inhibitor of both serotonin and norepinephrine, it is not recommended to take duloxetine in combination with non-selective irreversible MAO inhibitors or for at least 14 days after their withdrawal. Based on the duration of T1 / 2 duloxetine, you should take a break of at least 5 days after stopping duloxetine before taking MAO inhibitors. With respect to selective reversible MAO inhibitors, such as moclobemide, the risk of developing serotonin syndrome is low, however, simultaneous use of the drug with selective reversible MAO inhibitors is not recommended.
Anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs - the risk of bleeding. Cases have been reported of an increase in the INR when used simultaneously with warfarin.
In rare cases, the development of serotonin syndrome has been reported with the use of SSRIs (including paroxetine, fluoxetine) with serotonergic drugs. Care must be taken when simultaneously using Duloxetine with serotonergic antidepressants such as SSRIs, tricyclic antidepressants such as clomipramine and amitriptyline, venous finum or triptocylone, tramadol, petidine and tryptophanom.

Special instructions

A systematic assessment of the drug intake in a dose of more than 120 mg was not carried out.
Cases of mydriasis have been observed when taking duloxetine, so care should be taken when prescribing duloxetine in patients with intraocular hypertension or in individuals at risk of developing acute angle-closure glaucoma.
In patients with severe chronic renal failure (CK less than 30 ml / min) or severe liver failure, there is an increase in plasma duloxetine concentration. If these patients are clinically based on duloxetine, lower initial doses should be used.
With depression, there is the likelihood of suicidal attempts, which may persist until the onset of persistent remission. Careful observation of patients at risk is needed.
The abolition of the drug should be carried out gradually in order to avoid the syndrome of "cancellation."
Due to insufficient experience with duloxetine during pregnancy, the drug should be prescribed during pregnancy only if the potential benefit to the mother greatly exceeds the potential risk to the fetus. Patients should be warned that in the event of the onset or planning of pregnancy during the period of treatment with duloxetine, they should be informed about this by their doctor.
Due to the lack of experience with duloxetine in women during lactation, breastfeeding during duloxetine therapy is not recommended.
In the course of studies of duloxetine, no psychomotor reactions, cognitive functions, and memory were identified. However, the drug may be accompanied by drowsiness. In this regard, patients taking duloxetine should be cautious when practicing potentially hazardous activities that require increased concentration and psychomotor speed, including driving a car.

Overdosage

Symptoms: vomiting and loss of appetite, tremor, clonic convulsions, ataxia. Treatment: symptomatic and supportive. Monitoring of cardiovascular system and other vital signs. The specific antidote is not known.
Reported several cases of overdose with simultaneous ingestion of up to 1400 mg of the drug that did not have fatal consequences.
