Lithium intoxication might be lethal particularly in elderly persons who have multiple drugs. We present an aged bipolar patient with lithium intoxication probably caused by the interaction between fluvoxamine and azilsartan. Fluvoxamine inhibits many cytochrome P450 enzyme (CYP) including CYP2C9, which metabolizes azilsartan. Thus, azilsartan could cause more negative effects for sodium reabsorption at renal tubules when co-administered with fluvoxamine, resulted in a decrease in lithium excretion.
锂中毒可能是致命的,尤其是在服用多种药物的老年人中。我们报告一例老年双相情感障碍患者锂中毒,可能是由氟伏沙明与阿齐沙坦相互作用所致。氟伏沙明抑制多种细胞色素P450酶(CYP),包括代谢阿齐沙坦的CYP2C9。因此,阿齐沙坦与氟伏沙明合用时,可能会对肾小管钠重吸收产生更多负面影响,导致锂排泄减少。
