Pregnancy and lactation. The risk of suicidal behaviour may be higher in young adults, closely monitor. May impair ability to drive or perform tasks. Avoid abrupt withdrawal.
Lactation
Excreted in breast milk; use caution (AAP states effect on nursing infants is unknown but may be of concern)
Pregnancy-Lactation
Pregnancy
Pregnancy category: D
Teratogenic effects: Epidemiologic studies have shown that infants exposed to paroxetine in the first trimester of pregnancy have an increased risk of congenital malformations, particularly cardiovascular malformations
Use late in the third trimester associated with complications in newborns and may require prolonged hospitalization, respiratory support, and tube feeding
A study of nearly 28,000 women taking SSRIs confirmed 5 previously reported birth defercts associated with paroxetine, including heart defects, anencephaly, and abdominal wall defects (BMJ 2015; 351:h3190)
Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn
Potential risk of persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) when used during pregnancy
Initial public health advisory in 2006 was based on a single published study; since then, there have been conflicting findings from new studies, making it unclear whether use of SSRIs during pregnancy can cause PPHN
FDA has reviewed the additional new study results and has concluded that, given the conflicting results from different studies, it is premature to reach any conclusion about a possible link between SSRI use in pregnancy and PPHN
FDA recommendation: FDA advises health care professionals not to alter their current clinical practice of treating depression during pregnancy and to report any adverse events to the FDA MedWatch program
A meta-analysis of 7 observational studies, found exposure to SSRIs in late pregnancy (ie, >20 weeks' gestation) more than doubled the risk of PPHN that could not be explained by other etiologies (eg, congenital malformations, meconium aspiration) (BMJ 2014;348:f6932)
Lactation
Excreted in breast milk; use caution (AAP states effect on nursing infants is unknown but may be of concern)
Interactions
Levels/effects inhibited by cyproheptadine, phenytoin. Levels/effects increased by carbamazepine, cimetidine, CYP2D6 inhibitors (e.g. chlorpromazine, delavirdine, fluoxetine, miconazole, pergolide, quinidine, quinine, ritonavir, ropinirole). Increases levels/effects of atomoxetine, carvedilol, clozapine, CYP2B6 substrates (e.g. bupropion, promethazine, propofol, selegiline, sertraline), CYP2D6 substrates (e.g. amphetamines, selected beta-blockers, dextromethorphan, fluoxetine, lidocaine, mirtazapine, nefazodone, risperidone, ritonavir, thioridazine, TCAs, venlafaxine), duloxetine, galantamine, mexilitine, pimozide, procyclidine, propafenone. Decreases levels/effects of CYP2D6 prodrug substrates (e.g. codeine, hydrocodone, oxycodone, tramadol). Inhibits the metabolism of dextromethorphan, haloperidol, thioridazine. Enhances bradycardic effect of beta-blockers.
Enhances toxic effects of other CNS depressants. Increased risk of serotonin syndrome with amphetamines, SSRIs, meperidine, nefazodone, trazodone, serotonin agonists, sibutramine, sympathomimetics, tramadol, venlafaxine. Increases risk of bleeding with NSAIDs, aspirin, warfarin, or other drugs affecting coagulation. Increases sensitivity to amphetamines. Neurotoxicity with lithium. Additive hyponatraemia with loop diuretics. Mania or hypertension with selegiline.
Potentially Fatal: Fatal reactions with nonselective MAOI.
