Description
Paroxetine (Paxil) is an SSRI that can be used in the management of depression. I discuss more on paroxetine pharmacology in this episode.
Because paroxetine has some modest anticholinergic effects, it does show up on the Beers list as a potentially inappropriate medication.
By inhibiting CYP2D6, paroxetine can have numerous drug interactions. Drugs like atomoxetine, aripiprazole, and metoclopramide can all have their concentrations increased.
Tamoxifen is activated by CYP2D6 and paroxetine can ultimately reduce the effectiveness of the medication.
