Amitriptyline and ethanol: pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic interaction.

Abstract:

:Amitriptyline has clinically important interactions with ethanol. Five healthy volunteers received 25 mg of amitriptyline orally, preceded by one hour and followed for eight hours by oral ethanol (or juice), dosed to achieve and maintain blood ethanol concentrations of 800 mg/l. In the presence of ethanol, amitriptyline free plasma concentrations were increased by a logarithmic mean of 204%, 186% and 127% at 1.5, 2, and 2.5 h, respectively, and amitriptyline free AUC0-8h was increased by 48% +/- 13% (means +/- SEM) (t = 5.21, p less than 0.01). Nortriptyline total AUC0-8h was increased by 26.6% +/- 12% (means +/- SEM) (t = 2.21, p less than 0.09). At the time of peak amitriptyline plasma concentrations, mean postural sway was increased over baseline by 92% with, and 2% without ethanol; likewise, mean short term memory (word recall) was decreased over baseline by 71% with, and 37% without ethanol. Ethanol increases free amitriptyline plasma concentrations most dramatically during the period of drug absorption; this is due to a decrease in amitriptyline hepatic clearance, resulting in decreased first-pass extraction. Together with the pharmacodynamic interaction, the kinetic changes provide a rationale for the toxicity of this combination and its deleterious effects on psychomotor skills.

  • Impact of CYP2D6*10 on mexiletine pharmacokinetics in healthy adult volunteers.

    abstract:OBJECTIVE:In vitro studies with human liver microsomes have suggested that the oxidative conversion of mexiletine (MX) to its metabolites is catalyzed by CYP2D6 and is significantly impaired in microsomes with the CYP2D6*10/*10 genotype. Therefore, we examined the influence of the CYP2D6*10 allele on MX pharmacokinetic...
