Cardiotoxicity has been extensively reported in venlafaxine (VEN) overdoses. Asthenia is also among the common side effects described for this antidepressant. VEN is metabolized mainly by CYP2D6 and to a minor extent by CYP2C19 to the major active metabolite O-desmethylvenlafaxine (ODV). Altered pharmacokinetic parameters in patients with polymorphisms in the and genes that result in decreased enzymatic activity have been documented. Here we describe a patient case of VEN associated palpitations and asthenia. The patient takes VEN extended release 150 mg twice daily. Genotyping confirmed the patient is a poor metabolizer for CYP2D6 and an intermediate metabolizer for CYP2C19. We propose that the palpitations and asthenia are related to sustained VEN exposure due to reduced metabolism.
文拉法辛(VEN)过量使用时的心脏毒性已有大量报道。乏力也是这种抗抑郁药常见的副作用之一。VEN主要通过CYP2D6代谢,少量通过CYP2C19代谢为主要活性代谢物O-去甲基文拉法辛(ODV)。已有文献记载,参与 和 基因多态性导致酶活性降低的患者,其药代动力学参数发生改变。在此,我们描述一例与VEN相关的心悸和乏力患者病例。该患者每日两次服用150毫克缓释VEN。基因分型证实该患者是CYP2D6的慢代谢者和CYP2C19的中间代谢者。我们认为,心悸和乏力与代谢降低导致VEN持续暴露有关。
