Packing

Pharmacological action
Pharmaceutical group:
antidepressant.
Pharmaceutical Action:
Inhibits the reuptake of serotonin and noadrenaline, resulting in increased serotonergic and noradrenergic neurotransmission in the central nervous system. Weakly inhibits dopamine uptake, without a significant affinity for histaminergic, dopaminergic, cholinergic and adrenergic receptors.
Duloxetine has a central mechanism for suppressing pain, which is primarily manifested by an increase in the threshold of pain sensitivity in patients with a pain syndrome of neuropathic etiology.
Pharmacokinetics:
Differences in pharmacokinetics between men and women were revealed (the clearance of duloxetine is lower in women), as well as in patients of middle and old age (increased AUC and T1 / 2 in the elderly), but this does not require dose adjustment depending on the gender or age of the patients.
In patients with end-stage chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis, Cmax and AUC of duloxetine increase by 2 times.
In patients with clinical signs of liver failure, a slowdown in metabolism and elimination of duloxetine is observed. After a single dose of 20 mg of duloxetine in 6 patients with cirrhosis of the liver with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pyug class B), duloxetine clearance increased by 15%, AUC – 5 times, T1 / 2 – 3 times, Cmax did not change .
Indications
Depression, diabetic peripheral neuropathy (pain form).
Contraindications
Hypersensitivity, liver diseases accompanied by liver failure, concomitant use of non-selective irreversible MAO inhibitors, potent inhibitors of CYP1A2 (fluvoxamine, ciprofloxacin, enoxacin), severe chronic renal failure, mild, arterial necrosis, less than 30 years old, less than 50% arterial hypertension, less than 50 up to 18 years (no experience with use).
For sucrose-containing drugs (optional): congenital fructose intolerance, glucose-galactose malabsorption, sucrose-isomaltase deficiency.
Caution. Mania and bipolar disorder (including history), seizures (including history), intraocular hypertension or the risk of developing an acute attack of angle-closure glaucoma, suicidal thoughts and history of attempts, increased risk of hyponatremia (elderly patients, cirrhosis liver, dehydration, diuretics), pregnancy.
Special instructions
No systematic evaluation of the drug in doses above 120 mg has been carried out.
There have been cases of mydriasis when taking duloxetine, therefore caution should be exercised when prescribing duloxetine to patients with intraocular hypertension or in individuals at risk of developing acute angle-closure glaucoma.
In patients with severe chronic renal failure (CC less than 30 ml / min) or severe hepatic impairment, an increase in plasma concentration of duloxetine is observed. If duloxetine is clinically justified in such patients, lower initial doses should be used.
In depression, there is a likelihood of suicidal attempts, which may persist until persistent remission occurs. Careful monitoring of patients at risk is necessary.
Discontinuation of the drug should be carried out gradually in order to avoid withdrawal syndrome.
Due to insufficient experience with duloxetine during pregnancy, the drug should be prescribed during pregnancy only if the potential benefit to the mother significantly exceeds the potential risk to the fetus. Patients should be warned that in case of pregnancy occurrence or planning during the treatment with duloxetine, they need to inform their attending physician about it.
Due to the lack of experience with the use of duloxetine in women during lactation, breastfeeding during therapy with duloxetine is not recommended.
During the studies of duloxetine, there were no violations of psychomotor reactions, cognitive functions and memory. However, taking the drug may be accompanied by drowsiness. In connection with these patients, taking duloxetine, caution should be exercised when practicing potentially dangerous activities that require an increased concentration of attention and speed of psychomotor reactions, including driving a car.

Drug interaction
The simultaneous use of duloxetine (60 mg 2 times a day) did not significantly affect the pharmacokinetics of theophylline metabolized by CYP1A2.
Concomitant use of duloxetine with potential CYP1A2 inhibitors can lead to an increase in the concentration of duloxetine. The CYP1A2 inhibitor fluvoxamine (100 mg once a day) reduces the plasma clearance of duloxetine by approximately 77% and increases the AUC by 6 times, therefore, duloxetine should not be used in combination with potential CYP1A2 inhibitors. such as fluvoxamine.
Duloxetine is a moderate inhibitor of CYP2D6. When taking duloxetine at a dose of 60 mg 2 times a day, along with a single dose of desipramine (substrate CYP2D6), AUC of desipramine increases 3 times. The 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 5-hydroxyl metabolite. Caution should be exercised when using duloxetine with drugs that are metabolized mainly by the CYP2D6 system and have a narrow therapeutic index.
Concomitant use of duloxetine with potential CYP2D6 inhibitors can lead to increased concentrations of duloxetine.
Paroxetine (20 mg once daily) reduces duloxetine clearance by approximately 37%. Caution is advised when using duloxetine with CYP2D6 inhibitors.
Caution should be exercised when using duloxetine simultaneously with other drugs that affect the central nervous system (including benzodiazepines, antipsychotic drugs, phenobarbital, antihistamines with sedative effect, ethanol), especially with a similar mechanism of action.
The simultaneous use of duloxetine with drugs that are highly bound to 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 the development of severe adverse reactions (hyperthermia, muscle rigidity, myoclonus, peripheral disorders with possible sharp fluctuations in vital signs and changes in mental status, including pronounced excitement with the transition to delirium and to whom) sometimes fatal. These reactions were also observed in patients who, shortly before the appointment of an MAO inhibitor, a serotonin reuptake inhibitor was canceled. In some cases, patients experienced symptoms characteristic of a malignant antipsychotic 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 of duloxetine, at least a break should be taken 5 days after taking duloxetine before taking MAO inhibitors. With respect to selective reversible MAO inhibitors, such as moclobemide, the risk of developing serotonin syndrome is low, however, the 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 INR with concomitant use with warfarin.
In rare cases, the development of serotonin syndrome has been reported with the use of SSRIs (including paroxetine, fluoxetine) with serotonergic drugs. Caution must be exercised while using duloxetine with serotonergic antidepressants, such as SSRIs, tricyclic antidepressants, such as clomipramine and amitriptyline, perforated Hypericum, venlafaxine or triptans, tramadol, pethidine and tryptophan.
Overdose
Symptoms: vomiting and decreased appetite, tremor, clonic convulsions, ataxia. Treatment: symptomatic and supportive. Control of CCS and other indicators of vital activity. The specific antidote is unknown.
Several cases of overdose have been reported with single-dose administration of up to 1400 mg of the drug with no fatal effects.
