Subsequent dose adjustments of either drug should be based on clinical response. Concomitant administration of buspirone 10 mg as single dose and itraconazole mg once daily for four days in healthy volunteers increased the plasma concentrations of buspirone Cmax increased fold and AUC fold. If buspirone and itraconazole are to be used in combination, a low dose of buspirone e.
Association with precautions of use: Concomitant administration of buspirone 10 mg as single dose and diltiazem 60 mg three times daily in healthy volunteers increased the plasma concentrations of buspirone Cmax increased 5. Enhanced effects and increased toxicity of buspirone may be possible when buspirone is administered with diltiazem. Concomitant administration of buspirone 10 mg as single dose and verapamil 80 mg three times daily in healthy volunteers increased the plasma concentrations of buspirone Cmax and AUC increased 3.
Enhanced effects and increased toxicity of buspirone may be possible when buspirone is administered with verapamil. Rifampicin induces the metabolism of buspirone via CYP3A4. Association to be taken into account: The combination of buspirone and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors SSRI was tested in a number of clinical trials on more than , patients. Although no severe toxicities were observed, there were rare cases of seizures in patients that took SSRI and buspirone concomitantly.
Separate cases of seizures in patients administered combination therapy with buspirone and SSRIs have been reported from regular clinical use.
John's wort as there are isolated reports of serotonin syndrome occurring in patients on concomitant SSRI therapy. If this condition is suspected, treatment with buspirone should be immediately discontinued and supportive symptomatic treatment should be initiated. In healthy volunteers no interaction with the tricyclic antidepressant amitriptyline was seen.
In vitro buspirone may displace less firmly protein-bound drugs like digoxin. The clinical significance of this property is unknown. The co-administration of buspirone 2. The side effect profile for subjects receiving buspirone 2. The combination of perampanel particularly at high doses with ethanol has led to decreased mental alertness and ability to perform complex tasks such as driving , as well as increased levels of anger, confusion, and depression; similar reactions should be expected with concomitant use of other CNS depressants, such as buspirone.
Major Although not specifically studied, coadministration of CNS depressant drugs with topiramate may potentiate CNS depression such as dizziness or cognitive adverse reactions, or other centrally mediated effects of these agents. Monitor for increased CNS effects if coadministering. Moderate Posaconazole and buspirone should be coadministered with caution due to an increased potential for buspirone-related adverse events.
Posaconazole is a potent inhibitor of CYP3A4, an isoenzyme responsible for the metabolism of buspirone. Major The combination of buspirone and other CNS depressants, such as pramipexole, can increase the risk for sedation.
Moderate Concomitant administration of pregabalin with CNS depressant drugs, including buspirone, can potentiate the CNS effects of either agent.
Severe Simultaneous use of buspirone with drugs that possess monoamine oxidase inhibitor activity, such as procarbazine, can increase blood pressure, so it is recommended that this combination be avoided. When switching drug therapy, there should be a day delay after discontinuing a drug with MAOI-like actions before initiating a serotonergic drug like buspirone treatment.
Moderate Due to pharmacodynamic additive effects, also use caution when combining ramelteon with buspirone. Moderate Although data are not available, CYP3A4 inhibitors, such as ranolazine, may decrease systemic clearance of buspirone leading to increased or prolonged effects. Major In theory, there is the potential for a pharmacodynamic interaction between rasagiline and buspirone since both enhance dopaminergic activity.
Concomitant use of MAOIs and buspirone is contraindicated by the manufacturer of buspirone because several cases of elevated blood pressure have been reported in patients taking MAO inhibitors who were then given buspirone HCl. Moderate Concomitant use of CNS depressants, such as buspirone, can potentiate the effects of remifentnil, which may potentially lead to respiratory depression, CNS depression, sedation, or hypotensive responses.
Moderate Use caution if coadministration of ribociclib with buspirone is necessary, as the systemic exposure of buspirone may be increased resulting in an increase in buspirone-related adverse reactions. Consider starting with a low dose of buspirone with subsequent dose adjustments based on clinical assessment. Moderate The combination of buspirone and other CNS depressants, such as ropinirole, can increase the risk for sedation.
Major Concomitant use of rotigotine with other CNS depressants, such as buspirone, can potentiate the sedation effects of rotigotine. Moderate When buspirone is administered with an inhibitor of CYP3A4 like saquinavir, a lower dose of buspirone is recommended. Serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors: Moderate Buspirone should be used cautiously with serotonin-receptor agonists.
Pharmacologically, buspirone is a serotonin agonist, and using in conjunction with other serotonin agonists could result in serotonin syndrome, which can be serious and consists of symptoms such as mental status changes, diaphoresis, tremor, myoclonus, hyperreflexia, and fever. Patients receiving serotonin-agonists and buspirone should be informed of the signs and symptoms of serotonin syndrome. Major Because of the potential risk and severity of serotonin syndrome, caution should be observed when coadministering drugs that have serotonergic properties such as buspirone and sertraline.
Moderate Because of the potential risk and severity of serotonin syndrome, caution should be observed when administering sibutramine with drugs that have serotonergic properties, such as buspirone. Sibutramine is a serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine reuptake inhibitor. Additive effects on serotonin and dopamine are possible in combination with buspirone. CNS effects, such as sedation, may be possible. Monitor patients for adverse effects of buspirone.
Severe Sodium oxybate should not be used in combination with CNS depressant anxiolytics, sedatives, and hypnotics or other sedative CNS depressant drugs. Moderate Concomitant use of CNS depressants, such as buspirone, can potentiate the effects of sufentanil, which may potentially lead to respiratory depression, CNS depression, sedation, or hypotensive responses.
Moderate Additive CNS depressive effects are expected if tapentadol is used in conjunction with other CNS depressants including anxiolytics, sedatives, and hypnotics. When such combined therapy is contemplated, a dose reduction of one or both agents should be considered. Minor Caution is warranted with the concurrent use of tedizolid and buspirone due to the theoretical risk of serious CNS reactions, such as serotonin sydrome.
Animal studies did not predict serontoneric effects with tedizolid. However, tedizolid is an antibiotic that is a weak reversible, non-selective MAO inhibitor and monoamine oxidase type A deaminates serotonin; therefore, coadministration theoretically could lead to serious reactions including serotonin syndrome or neuroleptic malignant syndrome-like reactions.
Moderate Close clinical monitoring is advised when administering buspirone with telaprevir due to an increased potential for buspirone-related adverse events.
If buspirone dose adjustments are made, re-adjust the dose upon completion of telaprevir treatment. Buspirone is metabolized by the hepatic isoenzyme CYP3A4; telaprevir inhibits this isoenzyme. Moderate Concentrations of buspirone may be increased with concomitant use of telithromycin. Patients should be monitored for increased side effects.
Moderate Use caution if coadministration of telotristat ethyl and buspirone is necessary, as the systemic exposure of buspirone may be decreased resulting in reduced efficacy. If these drugs are used together, monitor patients for suboptimal efficacy of buspirone; consider increasing the dose of buspirone if necessary.
Buspirone is a CYP3A4 substrate. Moderate Concurrent use of tetrabenazine and drugs that can cause CNS depression, such as buspirone, can increase both the frequency and the intensity of adverse effects such as drowsiness, sedation, dizziness, and orthostatic hypotension.
Major Avoid the concomitant use of thalidomide with anxiolytics, sedatives, and hypnotics due to the potential for additive sedative effects. Moderate The combination of buspirone and CNS depressants like thiothixene can increase the risk for sedation. Moderate When buspirone is administered with an inhibitor of CYP3A4 like tipranavir, a lower dose of buspirone is recommended.
Moderate Coadministration of buspirone with verapamil substantially increases the plasma concentrations of buspirone by about three-fold. The mechanism is probably related to the inhibition of CYP3A4 by verapamil. Buspirone dose adjustment may be necessary and should be based on clinical assessment. Major Due to the risk of serotonin syndrome, concurrent use of trazodone and other serotonergic medications, such as buspirone, should be avoided if possible.
If concomitant use is clinically warranted, patients should be informed of the increased risk of serotonin syndrome, particularly during treatment initiation and during dose increases. Treatment with trazodone and any concomitant serotonergic agents should be discontinued immediately if signs and symptoms of serotonin syndrome occur, and supportive symptomatic treatment should be initiated.
Myoclonus, which responded to a serotonin antagonist, was reported in a patient taking trazodone with buspirone and a dopamine antagonist. Moderate CNS depressants, such as anxiolytics, sedatives, and hypnotics, can increase the sedative effects of trihexyphenidyl.
Moderate The concurrent use of trimethobenzamide with other medications that cause CNS depression, like buspirone, may potentiate the effects of either trimethobenzamide or buspirone.
Moderate Vemurafenib is an inducer of CYP3A4 and decreased plasma concentrations of drugs metabolized by this enzyme, such as buspirone, could be expected with concurrent use. Use caution, and monitor therapeutic effects of buspirone when coadministered with vemurafenib.
Moderate Vigabatrin may cause somnolence and fatigue. Drugs that can cause CNS depression, if used concomitantly with vigabatrin, may increase both the frequency and the intensity of adverse effects such as drowsiness, sedation, and dizziness.
Caution should be used when vigabatrin is given with buspirone. Major Because of the potential risk and severity of serotonin syndrome, caution should be observed when administering vilazodone with other drugs that have serotonergic properties such as buspirone. Patients receiving vilazodone and buspirone should be monitored for the emergence of serotonin syndrome, particularly during treatment initiation and during dosage increases.
Vilazodone and buspirone should be discontinued if serotonin syndrome occurs and supportive symptomatic treatment should be initiated. Buspirone is a substrate for CYP3A4, and when combined with voriconazole, may theoretically have reduced metabolism, and therefore higher serum concentrations resulting in toxicity. Major Because of the potential risk and severity of serotonin syndrome, caution should be observed when administering vortioxetine with other drugs that have serotonergic properties such as buspirone.
If serotonin syndrome is suspected, vortioxetine and concurrent serotonergic agents should be discontinued. Moderate In vitro data indicate that zafirlukast inhibits the CYP2C9 and CYP3A4 isoenzymes at concentrations close to the clinically achieved total plasma concentrations. Until more clinical data are available, zafirlukast should be used cautiously in patients stabilized on drugs metabolized by CYP3A4, such as buspirone.
Major The combination of buspirone and other CNS depressants can increase the risk for sedation. Moderate CNS depressant medications, such as buspirone, may increase drowsiness, dizziness, and confusion that are associated with ziconotide.
Dosage adjustments may be necessary if ziconotide is used with buspirone. Moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors, such as zileuton, may decrease systemic clearance of buspirone leading to increased or prolonged effects.
Use buspirone during pregnancy only when clearly needed. No fertility impairment or fetal damage was observed in reproduction studies performed in rats and rabbits at doses of approximately 30 times the maximum recommended human dose. In a non-interventional observational cohort study, buspirone accounted for 16 of the pregnancies in which women had taken a newly marketed drug during their first trimester.
Overall, birth defects were noted in 14 of newborns 2. The 16 buspirone outcomes included 2 elective abortions, 1 intrauterine death, 12 normal term babies, and 1 newborn with cystic fibrosis.
The effects of buspirone during labor and delivery are unknown. The extent of excretion of buspirone and its metabolites into human milk is not known, and the manufacturer recommends that buspirone administration during breast-feeding should be avoided if possible. Buspirone and its metabolites are excreted in the milk of lactating rats. She reported seizure-like activity in the infant at 3 weeks, 4 months, and 5.
While both fluoxetine and carbamazepine were present in the breast milk and infant serum samples, buspirone was undetectable. The infant's neurological exam and electroencephalography were normal. The authors were unable to determine the cause of the seizure-like activity. Other agents may be considered. However, due to individual variability in the response to buspirone and other anxiolytics, it may be prudent to continue the existing regimen with caution if ongoing treatment is deemed necessary during breast-feeding.
A pooled analysis found that maternal use of paroxetine usually produced undetectable or low drug concentrations in infant serum; this agent may be preferred when initiating therapy for generalized anxiety disorder GAD in a breast-feeding mother.
For acute episodes, certain benzodiazepines may be considered. If a benzodiazepine must be used, a short-acting agent such as oxazepam or lorazepam should be selected, and administered at the minimum dosage and duration required for symptom relief. None of the subjects were able to distinguish between buspirone hydrochloride tablets and placebo.
By contrast, subjects showed a statistically significant preference for methaqualone and diazepam. Studies in monkeys, mice, and rats have indicated that buspirone lacks potential for abuse. Following chronic administration in the rat, abrupt withdrawal of buspirone did not result in the loss of body weight commonly observed with substances that cause physical dependency. Consequently, physicians should carefully evaluate patients for a history of drug abuse and follow such patients closely, observing them for signs of buspirone hydrochloride tablets misuse or abuse e.
Controlled Substance Class Buspirone hydrochloride is not a controlled substance. There have been reports of the occurrence of elevated blood pressure when buspirone hydrochloride tablets have been added to a regimen including an MAOI. Therefore, it is recommended that buspirone hydrochloride tablets not be used concomitantly with an MAOI. Because buspirone hydrochloride tablets have no established antipsychotic activity, it should not be employed in lieu of appropriate antipsychotic treatment.
However, its CNS effects in any individual patient may not be predictable. Therefore, patients should be cautioned about operating an automobile or using complex machinery until they are reasonably certain that buspirone treatment does not affect them adversely. While formal studies of the interaction of buspirone hydrochloride with alcohol indicate that buspirone does not increase alcohol-induced impairment in motor and mental performance, it is prudent to avoid concomitant use of alcohol and buspirone.
Therefore, before starting therapy with buspirone hydrochloride tablets, it is advisable to withdraw patients gradually, especially patients who have been using a CNS-depressant drug chronically, from their prior treatment. Rebound or withdrawal symptoms may occur over varying time periods, depending in part on the type of drug, and its effective half-life of elimination.
Clinical experience in controlled trials has failed to identify any significant neuroleptic-like activity; however, a syndrome of restlessness, appearing shortly after initiation of treatment, has been reported in some small fraction of buspirone-treated patients. The syndrome may be explained in several ways.
For example, buspirone may increase central noradrenergic activity; alternatively, the effect may be attributable to dopaminergic effects i.
Information For Patients To assure safe and effective use of buspirone hydrochloride tablets, the following information and instructions should be given to patients: Rifampicin induces the metabolism of buspirone via CYP3A4. Buspirone should not be used concomitantly with a MAOI. In healthy volunteers no interaction with the tricyclic antidepressant amitriptyline was seen. Association to be taken into account: The combination of buspirone and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors SSRI was tested in a number of clinical trials on more than , patients.
Although no severe toxicities were observed, there were rare cases of seizures in patients that took SSRI and buspirone concomitantly. Separate cases of seizures in patients administered combination therapy with buspirone and SSRIs have been reported from regular clinical use.
John's Wort as there are isolated reports of serotonin syndrome occurring in patients on concomitant SSRI therapy. If this condition is suspected, treatment with buspirone should be immediately discontinued and supportive symptomatic treatment should be initiated. In vitro buspirone may displace less firmly protein-bound drugs like digoxin.
The clinical significance of this property is unknown. The coadministration of buspirone 2. The side effect profile for subjects receiving buspirone 2. Subjects receiving buspirone 5 mg twice daily and nefazodone mg twice daily experienced side effects such as lightheadedness, asthenia, dizziness, and somnolence.
It is recommended that the dose of buspirone be lowered when administered with nefazodone. Concomitant administration of buspirone 10 mg and grapefruit juice double strength ml for 2 days in healthy volunteers increased the plasma concentrations of buspirone Cmax increased 4.
When administered with a potent inhibitor of CYP3A4, a low dose of buspirone, used cautiously, is recommended. When used in combination with a potent inducer of CYP3A4, e. John's wort, an adjustment of the dosage of buspirone may be necessary to maintain busprione's anxiolytic effect. In short-term treatment with fluvoxamine and buspirone doubled buspirone plasma concentrations are observed compared to mono-therapy with buspirone.
Concomitant administration of trazodone showed a fold increase of ALT in some patients.
Subsequent dosage adjustments should be based on clinical response. Moderate Coadministration of buspirone with diltiazem substantially increases the plasma concentration of buspirone. Placebo-controlled trials, in which patients were treated with buspirone for up to six weeks, have not shown buspirone at doses recommended for adults to be an effective treatment for generalised anxiety disorder in patients less than 18 years. The clinical buspirone of this property is unknown. Therefore, it is recommended that buspirone not be used concomitantly tablet a MAOI. Buspirone increases firing in the tablet ceruleus, an area of brain where norepinephrine cell bodies are found in high concentration. The clinical significance of this property buspirone unknown. Moderate CNS depression can be increased when methscopolamine is combined with other CNS depressants such as any anxiolytics, sedatives, buspirone 5 mg tablets, and hypnotics. Moderate When buspirone is administered with an inhibitor of CYP3A4 like nelfinavir, a lower dose of buspirone is recommended. The effects of buspirone during labor and delivery are unknown. If the two drugs are to be used in combination, the dosage of Buspirone may need adjusting to maintain anxiolytic effect. Use in Patients with Impaired Hepatic or Renal Function Buspirone is metabolized by the liver and excreted by the kidneys, buspirone 5 mg tablets. Concomitant use of MAOIs and buspirone is contraindicated by the manufacturer of buspirone because several cases of elevated blood pressure have been reported in patients taking MAO inhibitors who were then given buspirone HCl. Additive effects on serotonin and dopamine are possible in combination with buspirone.
Moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors, such as amiodarone,may decrease systemic clearance of buspirone leading to increased or prolonged effects. In rats, however, Buspirone and its tablets are excreted in milk. Until more data are buspirone, it is advisable to closely monitor for adverse events when buspirone is coadministered with haloperidol. Major Concomitant use of fentanyl with other CNS depressants, such as buspirone, can potentiate the effects of fentanyl on respiration, buspirone 5 mg tablets, CNS depression, sedation, and hypotension. A buspirone dosage adjustment may be necessary to maintain anxiolytic activity. Buspirone is not recommended in children and adolescents see section 4. Darunavir is an inhibitor of Buspirone, an isoenzyme responsible for the tablet of buspirone. Moderate Concomitant use of CNS depressants, such as buspirone, can potentiate the effects of morphine, which may potentially lead to respiratory depression, CNS depression, sedation, or hypotensive responses. Major Because of the potential risk and severity of serotonin syndrome, caution should be observed when administering vortioxetine with other drugs that have serotonergic properties such as buspirone.
