INSTRUCTION FOR THE SPECIALIST.

Description of the drug approved by the manufacturer for the printed edition of 2011.

PHARMACHOLOGIC EFFECT

Antidepressant.
Paroxetine is a potent and selective inhibitor of the capture of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) by neurons of the brain, which determines its antidepressant effect and effectiveness in treating obsessive-compulsive and panic disorder.
The main metabolites of paroxetine are polar and conjugated oxidation and methylation products that are rapidly eliminated from the body, have weak pharmacological activity and do not affect the therapeutic effect.
In the metabolism of paroxetine, the selective uptake of 5-HT neurons due to its action is not impaired.
Paroxetine has a low affinity for m-cholinergic receptors.
Having a selective effect, unlike tricyclic antidepressants, paroxetine is characterized by low affinity to? 1 -,?2 -,? -adrenoceptors, as well as to dopamine, 5-HT 1 -like, 5-HT 2 -like and histamine H 1 -receptors.
Paroxetine does not impair psychomotor functions and does not potentiate the inhibitory effect of ethanol on them.

According to the study of behavior and EEG in patients taking paroxetine, it is proved that when administered at doses higher than those required to inhibit the capture of 5-HT, weak activation properties are revealed in paroxetine.
In healthy volunteers, it does not cause a significant change in the level of blood pressure, heart rate and EEG.
Unlike antidepressants, which inhibit the capture of norepinephrine, paroxetine much less suppresses the antihypertensive effects of guanethidine.

PHARMACOKINETICS

Suction

After ingestion paroxetine is well absorbed from the digestive tract.
It is metabolized by the "first pass" through the liver.
The clinical effects of paroxetine (side effect and efficacy) do not correlate with its concentration in the plasma.

Distribution

C ss is reached by 7-14 days after the start of treatment, pharmacokinetics during prolonged treatment does not change.

In therapeutic concentrations, the binding of paroxetine to plasma proteins is 95%.

Paroxetine is extensively distributed in tissues, and pharmacokinetic calculations show that only 1% of it is present in the plasma.

Metabolism

Because the metabolism of paroxetine involves the effect of "first passage" through the liver, its quantity, determined in the systemic blood flow, is less than that absorbed from the digestive tract.
With increasing dose of paroxetine or with multiple dosing, when the load on the body increases, a partial absorption of the effect of "first passage" through the liver and a decrease in plasma clearance of paroxetine occur. As a result, it is possible to increase the concentration of paroxetine in the plasma and fluctuations in the pharmacokinetic parameters, which can be observed only in those patients who, when taking the drug at low doses, achieve low concentrations of paroxetine in the plasma.
Excretion

T 1/2 varies, but usually is about 1 day.
Excretion of metabolites of paroxetine from the body is biphasic, first as a result of metabolism during the first passage through the liver, and then it is controlled by systemic elimination.
Paroxetine is excreted mainly in the form of metabolites: 64% of metabolites are excreted in the urine and 36% with bile through the intestine.
Unchanged, 2% of urine and 1% of bile are excreted.
Pharmacokinetics in special clinical cases

In elderly patients, as well as in patients with severe and severe renal and hepatic insufficiency, the concentration of paroxetine in plasma is increased, and the range of plasma concentrations in them almost coincides with the range in healthy adult volunteers.

INDICATIONS

The recommended average therapeutic dose is 40 mg / day, if necessary, the dose may be increased to 60 mg / day.
In panic disorders, Aktaparoxetine is prescribed at an initial dose of 10 mg / day (to reduce the possible risk of developing panic symptoms), followed by a weekly increase of 10 mg.
The average therapeutic dose is 40 mg / day. The maximum dose is 50 mg / day.
With socially-anxiety disorders / social phobia, the initial dose is 20 mg / day, in the absence of effect for at least 2 weeks, an increase in the dose to a maximum of 50 mg / day is possible.
The dose should be increased by 10 mg at intervals of not less than 1 week in accordance with the clinical effect.
For posttraumatic disorders of the psyche for most patients, the initial and therapeutic doses are 20 mg / day.
In some cases, a dose increase of up to 50 mg / day is recommended. The dose should be increased by 10 mg every week in accordance with the clinical effect.
In generalized anxiety disorders, the initial and recommended dose is 20 mg / day.

In renal and / or liver failure, the recommended daily dose is 20 mg.

For elderly patients, the daily dose should not exceed 40 mg.
In order to prevent the development of withdrawal syndrome, the discontinuation of taking the drug is carried out gradually.
SIDE EFFECT

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

To avoid the development of ZNS patients taking antipsychotics, the drug is prescribed with caution.

Treatment with paroxetine is prescribed 2 weeks after the abolition of MAO inhibitors.

In elderly patients during the administration of the drug, hyponatremia is possible.

In some cases, with the simultaneous use of Aktaparoxetine with insulin and / or oral hypoglycemic drugs, a dose adjustment of the latter is required.

With the development of seizures, treatment with paroxetine should be discontinued.

At the first sign of mania, therapy with paroxetine should be discontinued.

During the first few weeks, the patient's condition should be carefully monitored in connection with possible suicidal attempts.

The patient should be informed that during the treatment period it is necessary to refrain from drinking alcohol.

Impact on the ability to drive vehicles and manage mechanisms

Paroxetine does not impair cognitive and psychomotor functions.
Nevertheless, as with other psychotropic medications, patients should be careful when driving and moving machinery. During the treatment period, the patient should refrain from engaging in potentially dangerous activities that require an increased concentration of attention and speed of psychomotor reactions.
OVERDOSE

Symptoms: nausea, dilated pupils, fever, increased blood pressure, headache, involuntary muscle contractions, agitation, anxiety, sinus tachycardia, bradycardia, nodal rhythm;
very rarely - oppression of consciousness up to coma (with simultaneous reception with other psychotropic drugs and / or alcohol).
Treatment: gastric lavage, activated charcoal, symptomatic therapy.
There is no specific antidote.
DRUG INTERACTION

The intake of food and antacid agents does not affect the absorption and pharmacokinetic parameters of the drug.

Paroxetine is incompatible with MAO inhibitors.

With simultaneous administration with paroxetine, the concentration of procyclidine increases.

During therapy with paroxetine, one should refrain from taking alcohol because of the increased toxic effect of alcohol.

In connection with the inhibition of cytochrome P450 by paroxetine, it is possible to increase the action of barbiturates, phenytoin, indirect anticoagulants, tricyclic antidepressants, phenothiazine antipsychotics, antiarrhythmics of class I C, metoprolol, and an increased risk of side effects with concomitant administration of these drugs.

At simultaneous appointment with the preparations, inhibiting enzymes of a liver, the dose of paroxetine can be required.

Paroxetine increases bleeding time against the background of taking warfarin, with the same prothrombin time.

With the simultaneous administration of paroxetine with atypical antipsychotic agents, phenothiazines, tricyclic antidepressants, acetylsalicylic acid, NSAIDs, caution should be exercised in connection with possible bleeding disorders.

Simultaneous administration with serotonergic drugs (tramadol, sumatriptan) may lead to an increase in the serotonergic effect.

Mutual enhancement of the action of tryptophan, lithium and paroxetine preparations was noted.

With the simultaneous administration of paroxetine with phenytoin and other anticonvulsants, a decrease in paroxetine concentration in the plasma and an increase in the frequency of side effects are possible.
