Abstract

Recent studies of venlafaxine [Wyeth Ayerst], one of the new dual-acting antidepressants, have indicated that the drug has a low risk of interactions with drugs that are substrates for the cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) and 1A2 (CYP1A2) isoenzyme pathways. These studies were prompted by the US FDA’s concern regarding the adverse consequences of drug interactions with the CYP3A4 substrate terfenadine. The results of the venlafaxine studies were presented at the 98th meeting of the American Society for Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics [San Diego, California, March 1997].
