Increased monitoring for serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SRI)-associated adverse reactions is recommended.1
Although no clinically significant drug interactions with adjunctive selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors/serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SSRI/SNRIs) in MDD were observed in CAPLYTA clinical trials, CAPLYTA’s moderate serotonin transporter (SERT) activity may increase the risk of SRI-associated adverse reactions (e.g. serotonin syndrome, hyponatremia).1
There were no reports of serotonin syndrome adverse events in CAPLYTA clinical trials across all indications (adjunctive major depressive disorder, bipolar I or II disorder, and schizophrenia).
