Detecting Drug Interactions From Adverse-Event Reports: Interaction Between Paroxetine and Pravastatin Increases Blood Glucose Levels

Abstract: The lipid-lowering agent pravastatin and the antidepressant paroxetine are among the most widely prescribed drugs in the world. Unexpected interactions between them could have important public health implications. We mined the US Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA’s) Adverse Event Reporting System (AERS) for side-effect profiles involving glucose homeostasis and found a surprisingly strong signal for comedication with pravastatin and paroxetine. We retrospectively evaluated changes in blood glucose in 104 pat… Show more

“…The main finding of this study was that although paroxetine itself produced a trend toward impaired glycemic control and insulin secretion in diabetic rats, comedication with paroxetine and pravastatin further deteriorated glucose homeostasis, which was in accordance with clinical reports [14][15][16] . Compared with the DM rats, the DM-CO rats displayed lower insulin levels in both the serum and pancreas, which was in line with a decrease in the expression of pancreatic Insulin-2 mRNA, inferring that insulin biosynthesis was inhibited.…”

“…However, multiple reports have demonstrated that comedication with pravastatin and paroxetine can increase the risk of elevated blood glucose levels in diabetic patients [14][15][16] , although neither pravastatin nor paroxetine alone have shown an effect on glucose levels. The real mechanism leading to the adverse drug reaction Paroxetine is metabolized in the liver mainly by CYP2D6 [17] .…”

“…Data mining methods in pharmacovigilance have been used with several goals, [8,9] (i) in order to automate the search of publications concerning ADR in Medline, [11] (ii) to correlate and predict post-marketing adverse drug effects based on screening data from public databases of chemical structures like Pubchem, [12] (iii) to develop new algorithms to detect new or latent multi-drug adverse events in Adverse Event Reporting System database [5] and (iv) to find out new pharmacovigilance signal by mining EHR data. [13,14] For example, in a recently published work, [13] Tatonetti NP et al…”
