The impact of pregnancy-related hormonal and physiological changes on antiseizure medications: expert perspective.
Introduction: Epilepsy is a disorder of recurrent, unprovoked seizures affecting approximately 15 million individuals of childbearing potential worldwide. Patients with epilepsy rely on regular daily therapy with antiseizure medications (ASMs). Furthermore, ASMs are also prescribed for other neuropsychiatric indications (e.g. bipolar disorder, pain, migraines) with over 2% of the pregnancies in the United States involving prenatal exposure to ASMs.
Areas covered: ASM concentrations are affected by hormonal and physiological changes in pregnancy, including increases in renal and hepatic blood flow, decreased protein binding, and changes in enzyme activity. Clearance changes typically reverse within a few weeks after delivery. During pregnancy, many ASMs, such as lamotrigine, levetiracetam, and oxcarbazepine, should have serum concentrations monitored and doses increased to maintain the individualized target range for seizure control. ASMs metabolized via glucuronidation, primarily lamotrigine, undergo marked increases in clearance throughout pregnancy, requiring about 3-fold the pre-pregnancy daily dose by delivery. Postpartum, ASM doses are usually decreased over several weeks to prevent drug toxicity.
Expert opinion: In the future, the development of a physiologically-based pharmacokinetic model for various ASMs may enable empiric dose adjustments in pregnancy without the difficulties of frequent therapeutic drug monitoring.
期刊介绍:
Advances in drug development technologies are yielding innovative new therapies, from potentially lifesaving medicines to lifestyle products. In recent years, however, the cost of developing new drugs has soared, and concerns over drug resistance and pharmacoeconomics have come to the fore. Adverse reactions experienced at the clinical trial level serve as a constant reminder of the importance of rigorous safety and toxicity testing. Furthermore the advent of pharmacogenomics and ‘individualized’ approaches to therapy will demand a fresh approach to drug evaluation and healthcare delivery.
Clinical Pharmacology provides an essential role in integrating the expertise of all of the specialists and players who are active in meeting such challenges in modern biomedical practice.
