Bupropion Opiates

AMPHETAMINES BUPROPION 1. t plasma concentrations of these substrates, with risk of toxic effects 2. t risk of seizures. This risk is marked in elderly people, patients with a history of seizures, those with an addiction to opiates/ cocaine/stimulants, and those with diabetes treated with oral hypoglycaemics or insulin 1. Bupropion and its metabolite hydroxybupropion inhibit CYP2D6 2. Bupropion is associated with a dose-related risk of seizures. These drugs that lower seizure threshold are individually epileptogenic. They have additive effects when combined 1. Initiate therapy with these drugs, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic index, at the lowest effective dose. Interaction is likely to be important with substrates for which CYP2D6 is considered the only metabolic pathway (e.g. amphetamines) 2. Extreme caution. The dose of bupropion should not exceed 450 mg/day (or 150 mg/day in those with severe hepatic cirrhosis)... [Pg.145]
