Clinically important interaction betweenmetoprolol and propafenone
Original language description
A combination of antiarrhythmic drugs with ß1 selective blocking agents has often been used. Both these types of drugs are metabolized via the cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme system, and therefore potential drug interactions are of considerable clinical significance. The antiarrhythmic agent propafenone undergoes CYP 2D6?dependent metabolism. Propafenone is also an inhibitor of the enzyme; the inhibitory constant has been estimated at 50 nmol/L, similar to that of quinidine (60 nmol/L). Metoprolol, a ß1 selective blocking agent, undergoes extensive presystemic elimination by CYP 2D6, and it has been shown that metabolites do not substantially contribute to the ß1-blockade. Metoprolol has a dose-dependent effect; dose is commonly titrated to the highest dose tolerated in order to achieve the maximal effect in the absence of adverse effects. A 2- to 5-fold increase in steady-state levels of metoprolol has been described after adding propafenone to metoprolol therapy. The disposition of CYP
