TABLE 2

Model-predicted magnitudes of drug-drug interactions of paroxetine with CYP2D6 substrates, without and with consideration of nonspecific microsomal binding FDCL2D6 and FDCLtot refer to the fractional decrement in oral clearance via the CYP2D6 component of net clearance and the fractional decrement in total oral clearance, respectively; f2D6 refers to the fractional contribution of CYP2D6 to net apparent oral clearance; and [PX] is the steady-state average plasma unbound concentration of paroxetine (PX).

  • a Paroxetine steady-state plasma unbound concentration from the exposure measured in this study

  • b Paroxetine steady-state plasma unbound concentration following 20 mg q.d. dosing (Kaye et al., 1989)

  • c The 7-fold increase is a lower bound, since half-life was prolonged but only AUC0-8 h was measured; predicted accuracy is thus not calculated (N.C.) for the perphenazine-paroxetine interaction
