คำอธิบาย
Sertraline may increase lamotrigine plasma concentrations by inhibiting its glucuronidation, potentially causing lamotrigine toxicity.
กลไก
Sertraline inhibits UGT enzymes responsible for lamotrigine glucuronidation, particularly UGT1A4, resulting in reduced lamotrigine clearance.
ความสำคัญทางคลินิก
Lamotrigine levels may increase significantly; symptoms of lamotrigine toxicity (diplopia, dizziness, ataxia) may develop.
การจัดการ
Monitor lamotrigine levels and for toxicity symptoms when sertraline is added; lamotrigine dose reduction may be required.
