An example of a potentially important drug interaction is that which occurs when fluvoxamine is given along with theophyllin (Figure 6—13). In that case, the theo-phyllin dose must be lowered or else the blood levels of theophyllin will rise and possibly cause side effects, even toxic side effects such as seizures. The same may occur with caffeine. Fluvoxamine also affects the metabolism of atypical anti-psychotics. 

Smoking cessation, with or without nicotine substitutes, may alter response to concomitant medication in ex-smokers. Smoking may affect alcohol, benzodiazepines, beta-adrenergic blockers, caffeine, clozapine, fluvoxamine, olanzapine, tacrine, theophylline, clorazepate, lidocaine (oral), estradiol, flecanide, imipramine, heparin, insulin, mexiletine, opioids, propranolol, catecholamines, and cortisol.

Clozapine is principally metabolized to N -desmethylclozapine (norclozapine). It is also metabolized to and n-oxide, other hydroxyl metabolites, and a protein-reactive metabolite. The n-oxide can be converted back to clozapine. The enzyme responsible for the metabolism of clozapine to norclozapine is the cytochrome P450 1A2 enzyme (325). This is consistent with a study showing that caffeine, a marker for 1A2, is cleared in relationship to the conversion of clozapine to norclozapine ( 326). Discontinuation of coffee intake can decrease the clozapine plasma levels by more than 50%, and increasing caffeine intake can produce a reemergence of the side effects (e.g., drowsiness, excess salivation). Additionally, smoking, which induces 1A2, lowers clozapine plasma levels. Fluvoxamine, an inhibitor of 1A2, dramatically increases plasma levels, and on occasion, adverse effects are seen ( 327). This phenomenon can lead to clozapine intoxication in patients on high doses of fluvoxamine.

Venlafaxine 150 mg/day did not alter the disposition of caffeine, a probe of CYP1A2 activity (24). This suggests that at therapeutic doses venlafaxine, in contrast to fluvoxamine (SEDA-22,13), does not inhibit CYP1A2.

Given concurrently with TCAs they may cause serious adverse effects. Fluvoxamine may raise levels of caffeine and theophylline, and fluoxetine can interfere with the metabolism of clozapine, cyclosporin, and tefenadine (18, 46). SSWs should never be given with MAO inhibitors because a fatal "serotonin syndrome" has been reported with fluoxetine in this combination (18). 

Oxidative metabolism of clozapine was found to correlate with caffeine metabolism (462)and is thus largely carried out by cytochrome P4501A2 (CYP1A2). No correlation with CYP2D6 polymorphism was found (461, 462). Several interaction studies of clozapine with SSRI antidepressants have been reported (465-469). Fluvoxamine increased plasma concentrations of clozapine in schizophrenic patients (463,464), presumably through inhibition of CYP1A2 catalyzed N-demethylation (465). Fluoxetine was found to increase the plasma concentrations of clozapine and its major metabolites, suggesting that this SSRI must interfere with pathways other than N-demethylation and N-dealkylation (466). Two other SSRIs, paroxetine (463) and citalopram (467), had no apparent effects on clozapine levels.
