Moderate Probable

説明

Concurrent fluoxetine and lithium may increase serotonin syndrome risk; fluoxetine may also alter lithium pharmacokinetics in some patients.

機序

Lithium potentiates serotonin release; fluoxetine inhibits SERT-mediated reuptake, leading to additive serotonergic stimulation.

臨床的意義

Clinical case series describe serotonin syndrome with this combination; the interaction is also used therapeutically under supervision.

対処法

Monitor lithium levels and watch for serotonin toxicity symptoms; consider dose reduction if signs emerge.
