Description pharmaceutical form:

Tablets, film-coated, white or almost white, round, biconvex shape. The cross section shows one or two layers. The inner layer is a white or nearly white.

Pharmacokinetics:

When administered orally at a dose of 30 mg / day, the time to reach equilibrium plasma concentration (Css) is 7-14 days. Cmax plasma levels of 61.7 ng / ml, the time to achieve -. 5.2 hours, absorption is high. Protein binding - 95%. It is metabolized in the liver to inactive metabolites (an inhibitor of CYP2D6 enzyme system). Excreted by the kidneys - 64% (unchanged - 2%) and through the gastrointestinal tract - 36% (unchanged - 1%). T1 / 2 - 21 hours.

With increasing doses and / or duration of treatment there is a nonlinear dependence on the dose pharmacokinetic parameters.

Description of the pharmacological actions:

Selectively inhibits the reuptake of serotonin (5-HT) in the central nervous system, enhances serotonergic transmission in the CNS. The action is shown in 7-14 days. It reduces anxiety, depression.

Increases concentration protsiklidina.

In patients receiving anticoagulants increases the bleeding time at an unchanged PT.

Inductors microsomal oxidation in the liver (phenobarbital, phenytoin) reduce the concentration and effectiveness of inhibitors of microsomal oxidation - increase.

Antidepressants (nortriptyline, amitriptyline, imipramine, desipramine and fluoxetine), phenothiazines (thioridazine), antiarrhythmic drugs class IC (including propafenone) increase the risk of side effects.

Precautionary measures:

Joint reception with preparations containing lithium, carried out under the control of the concentration of lithium ions in the blood.

During the period of treatment should refrain from the use of ethanol and from activities potentially hazardous activities that require high concentration and psychomotor speed reactions.
