Adding risperidone to lamotrigine.

Infobord.png General information
  • Lamotrigine is principally metabolised by UDP-glucuronosyltransferases.
  • Risperidone is principally metabolized by CYP2D6 to an active metabolite 9-OH-risperidone (paliperidone).
  • Risperidone is principally metabolized by CYP2D6 to an active metabolite.
  • This combination of drugs may have possible synergistic effects. However, this combination will also have additive side effects. Dose adaptation will be recommended for this combination.
Eenrichtingbord.png Start risperidone
  • Start risperidone according to the general dosing advice.
Letopbord.png Cave
  • A case report suggests that lamotrigine may increase the plasma concentrations of risperidone. [7]
  • Pharmacologic response and serum risperidone levels should be monitored more closely whenever lamotrigine is added to or withdrawn from therapy. [3]
