Effect of Rifampin, an Inducer of CYP3A and P-glycoprotein, on the Pharmacokinetics of Risperidone

Description
Summary:The authors studied the effect of rifampin, a dual inducer of CYP3A and P‐glycoprotein, on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of risperidone in humans. Ten healthy male subjects were treated daily for 7 days with 600 mg rifampin or with placebo. On day 6, a single dose of 1 mg risperidone was administered. Plasma risperidone and 9‐hydroxyrisperidone concentrations were measured. Rifampin significantly decreased the mean area under the plasma concentration–time curve by 51% for risperidone, by 43% for 9‐hydroxyrisperidone, and by 45% for the active moieties (risperidone + 9‐hydroxyrisperidone). Rifampin also decreased the peak plasma concentration of risperidone by 38%, 9‐hydroxyrisperidone by 46%, and the active moieties by 41%. The apparent oral clearance of risperidone approximately doubled after rifampin treatment. Thus, rifampin reduced the exposure to risperidone, probably because of a decrease in its bioavailability through the induction of CYP3A and probably P‐glycoprotein.
