There have been significant updates to several sections of the SPC, including the following:
Change to section 4.4 - Special warnings and precautions for Use
Addition to hepatic effects. Strattera should be discontinued in patients with jaundice or laboratory evidence of liver injury, and should not be restarted.
Change to section 4.5 - Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction
CYP2D6 inhibitors (SSRIs (e.g. fluoxetine, paroxetine), quinidine, terbinafine): In patients receiving these drugs, atomoxetine exposure may be 6-to 8-fold increased and Css max 3 to 4 times higher, because it metabolised by the CYP2D6 pathway. Lower titration and final lower dosage of atomoxetine may be necessary in patients who are already taking CYP2D6 inhibitor drugs.
Caution is advised with concomitant use of medicinal drugs which are known to lower the seizure threshold (such as tricyclic antidepressants or SSRIs, neuroleptics, phenothiazines or butyrophenone, mefloquine, chloroquine, buproprion or tramadol). (see section 4.4).
