Treatment With Antipsychotics in Pregnancy: Changes in Drug Disposition
نویسندگان
چکیده
Although pregnancy is known to cause changes in drug pharmacokinetics, little is known about its impact on serum levels of antipsychotics. In this study we retrospectively assessed 201 routine serum antipsychotic therapeutic drug monitoring concentration measurements obtained from a total of 110 pregnancies in 103 women, and 512 measurements from the same women before and after pregnancy. Serum concentrations in the third trimester were significantly lower than baseline for quetiapine (-76%; confidence interval (CI), -83%, -66%; P < 0.001) and aripiprazole (-52%; CI, -62%, -39%; P < 0.001), but not for olanzapine (-9%; CI, -28%, +14%; P = 0.40). For the remaining antipsychotics (perphenazine, haloperidol, ziprasidone, risperidone, and clozapine), our dataset was limited, but it indicates that concentrations may decline at least for perphenazine and possibly also for haloperidol. Even though the clinical consequence of the serum concentrations decline remains to be elucidated, our results warrant close clinical monitoring throughout pregnancy, preferentially supported by therapeutic drug monitoring.

Expression of Drug Pump Protein MRP2 in Lipopolysaccharide-Treated Rats and Its Impact on the Disposition of Acetaminophen
The drug pump protein MRP2 is a membrane drug efflux transporter widely distributed in normal and tumor tissues. Its role is thought to be crucial for the disposition of many drugs and their substrates in different tissues. In this study, we aimed to examine the effects of systematic inflammation induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on the expression and function of this transporter in rats. Jug...

متن کاملDiscontinuation of antipsychotic medication in pregnancy: A cohort study
BACKGROUND Women prescribed antipsychotics face the dilemma on whether to continue medication in pregnancy in terms of balancing risks and benefits. Previous research on other psychotropic medications suggests that many women discontinue treatment in early pregnancy. However, very limited evidence exists on discontinuation of antipsychotic medication. METHODS We identified 495,953 pregnant wo...
متن کاملGlyburide Disposition During Pregnancy
During pregnancy, 5-14% of women are diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and the incidence has been increasing (Jovanovic & Pettitt, 2001; Paglia & Coustan, 2011). While insulin treatment is still the “gold standard” therapy for controlling maternal glycemia, the increasing use of oral anti-diabetic agents such as glyburide and metformin has begun to change standard care (Maymone...

In this study, the combination of Phenergan C17H2ON2S, in which two aromatic rings are present, are attached to the rings at carbon position 5 and 13 halogens, and the changes in the asymmetric parameter, the convex constants, and the chemical displacement of the lateral carbon atoms are calculated. It shows that with the change of halogen based on the electrone...
