Citalopram

Introduction Obsessive-compulsive disorder OCD ; is among the most common psychiatric disorders, with a prevalence rate of 1.913.31 % Karno et al. 1988; Weissman et al. 1994 ; . It is characterized by either obsessions and or compulsions which are time consuming, cause marked distress or significantly interfere with the person's normal routine, functioning or relationships American Psychiatric Association 1995 ; . OCD is a chronic and disabling condition, often requiring longterm treatment. Serotonin reuptake inhibitors SRIs ; are the first line treatment for OCD, with clomipramine, fluvoxamine, fluoxetine, sertraline and paroxetine having FDA approval for adults with OCD, and fluvoxamine and sertraline having FDA approval in child adolescent OCD. Citalooram has an indication for treating OCD outside the US in several countries. However, a therapeutic lag of up to weeks is often noted before seeing a full therapeutic response Cartwright and Hollander 1998 ; . Further, most responders report only a partial reduction in symptoms, not full remission. The selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors' SSRIs ; superior side effect profile compared with clomipramine, including less anticholinergic side effects, weight gain, potential cardiac conduction block and seizures, has made these drugs the treatment of choice. Not all patients, however, may be able to tolerate SSRIs' potential side effects, which include headaches, nausea, insomnia, sexual dysfunction and agitation. Therefore, the search for other agents or adjuvant medications for the treatment of OCD that are faster acting, have greater efficacy or are associated with less side effects continues. Several uncontrolled reports suggested that clonazepam, a 7 nitro-benzodiazepine derivative, has substantial anti-obsessional properties in patients with OCD Bodkin and White 1989; Bacher 1990; Hewlett et al. 1990; Ross and Piggott 1993; Leonard et al. 1994 ; . Bodkin and White treated a 21-year-old man with OCD with clonazepam who at 0.5 mg t.i.d. had total remission of his compulsions and at 1 mg t.i.d. had complete remission of his obsessions and anxiety Bodkin and White 1989 ; . Bacher found clonazepam effective in treating a 60-year-old man with OCD, after other failed benzodiazepine trials Bacher 1990 ; . Hewlett and colleagues described three adult OCD patients. Increased by restraint stress in saline infused rats. Chronic citalopram treatment did not enhance basal CRF mRNA compared with saline infused controls nor did it alter the CRF mRNA response to restraint as there was no significant difference between saline-restraint and citalopram-restraint rats Fig. 4B ; . Magnocellular OT mRNA was enhanced by acute restraint stress in both saline-infused and citalopram-infused rats Fig. 4C ; . Chronic citalopram alone had no effect on OT mRNA. Discussion We have confirmed previous studies that have reported an increase in plasma ACTH and corticosterone in response to acute citalopram treatment in rats Jensen et al. 1999 ; . These data have extended these observations to demonstrate a prolonged ACTH and corticosterone response to acute restraint stress following a single injection of citalopram. A vasopressinergic mechanism may be involved in the citalopram-induced prolonged hormone response to acute restraint, as there was a significant increase in AVP mRNA in the pPVN following combined treatment with citalopram and restraint, compared with either treatment alone. In contrast, there was no further increase in CRF mRNA induced by the combined treatment, compared with restraint stress alone. It is unlikely that citalopram has a direct action on the PVN neurons themselves, as citalopram alone was unable to evoke an increase in CRF mRNA. It is therefore likely that citalopram was acting to enhance the release of serotonin in response to restraint stress and this may have altered AVP levels in the pPVN. Chronic citalopram infusion unlike acute citalopram treatment did not alter baseline hormone levels when given by minipump. Chronic citalopram treated, infused over 14 days, prevented the ACTH response, yet had no effect on the corticosterone response, to acute restraint stress. At the hypothalamic level, there was an increase in AVP mRNA in the pPVN associated with chronic citalopram infusion suggesting a stimulatory action of citalopram on AVP-containing CRF neurons. Plasma corticosterone and ACTH were transiently increased in rats in response to acute restraint stress as demonstrated previously Harbuz et al. 1993, Viau et al. 1993, Harbuz et al. 1994 ; . A single injection of citalopram 5 mg kg ; increased plasma levels of corticosterone as shown by Jensen et al. 1999 ; using a higher dose 10 mg kg ; of citalopram. At 5 mg kg, citalopram was able to elevate basal plasma corticosterone to comparable levels induced by restraint stress. However, at 5 mg kg, citalopram had no effect on plasma ACTH, at least at the 30 minute time point in `non-stressed' rats. This would suggest that ACTH release, in response to 5 mg kg citalopram, has either a response with a shorter duration or exhibits a response with lower amplitude than that stimulated by 10 mg kg of citalopram.

Pare the direct costs of treating depression over a six-month period with citalopram, fluoxetine, paroxetine, sertraline, and venlafaxine in managed care patients, from the perspective of the third-party payor. METHODS: Symmetry Health Data Systems' Episode Treatment Group methodology was applied to the PharMetrics Integrated Outcomes Database to identify adult subjects ages 18 years and older ; diagnosed with depressive disorder between January 1 and June 30, 1999. Subjects who received one of the study medications within one month of index diagnosis were included. Depression-related medical charges were assessed for a period of six months following the index diagnosis, by cumulating all charges paid claims ; associated with depression diagnosis codes. The primary outcome was the direct cost of treating depression for six months for a third-party payor, based on the initial antidepressant drug selected. RESULTS: 3, 698 patients met the inclusion criteria. Mean direct six-month depression-related treatment charges were $637 for citalopram patients, $725 for paroxetine patients, $795 for sertraline patients, $863 for venlafaxine patients, and $886 for fluoxetine patients. After adjusting for differences in treatment cohorts using multivariate log-linear regression, citalopram patients had 29% lower charges than fluoxetine patients p 0.0001 ; , 14% lower charges than venlafaxine patients p 0.0236 ; , and slightly but statistically nonsignificant ; lower charges than paroxetine and sertraline patients. CONCLUSIONS: Cialopram patients had the lowest direct, six-month depression-related treatment charges, in terms of both total and pharmacy-specific costs. Managed care organizations may achieve cost savings by making citalopram a first-line option on their formularies. LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Audience participants will: 1. describe patterns of newer antidepressant drug selection in a large managed care outcomes database; 2. recognize differences in the direct cost of treating depression with newer agents; and 3. understand how retrospective administrative claims databases can be used to answer pharmacoeconomic questions related to the treatment of depression. ss Differences in clinical complexity between amlodipine and felodipine users Wade SW, * 1 Arocho R, 2 Solis A, 1 Goldberg GA, 1 Mosso A, 1 Kadlubek P, 1 and Reblando J1 1 Protocare Sciences, Inc., 2400 Broadway, Suite 100, Santa Monica, CA 90404; 2Pfizer Inc, 235 East 42nd Street, New York, NY 10017 INTRODUCTION: This study evaluated "real world" calcium channel blocker use in patients treated with amlodipine and felodipine, and quantified clinical complexity and disease severity differences between the two treatment groups and atacand.

PSYCHIATRIC DRUGS THAT ARE INHIBITORS OR INDUCERS Psychiatric drugs have the potential to cause drug-drug interactions with atypical antipsychotics. Many antidepressants are metabolic inhibitors, and several anticonvulsants or mood stabilizers are inducers. Inhibition and or induction profiles of psychiatric drugs are well published. However, researchers and reviewers do not always agree in regard to the potency of inhibition or induction or to their clinical significance. Nevertheless, we believe that sufficient information suggests that paroxetine, fluoxetine, and bupropion are major CYP2D6 inhibitors.913 Fluvoxamine inhibits CYP1A2. Nefazodone is the most powerful CYP3A inhibitor among antidepressants but the list of clinically significant CYP3A inhibitors includes fluoxetine particularly its metabolite, norfluoxetine ; and fluvoxamine. There is less agreement about sertraline, which may inhibit several CYPs, including CYP2D6, in high doses.913 Citalopran and escitalopram are generally considered mild CYP inhibitors but may have the potential to cause some CYP2D6 inhibition.12, 13 The limited published information suggests that citalopram causes no clinically significant changes in clozapine14, 15 or risperidone14 levels. Therefore, citalopram and escitalopram are not described again in this review. More studies are needed to definitively establish that mild CYP inhibition by citalopram and escitalopram has limited clinical relevance. Anticonvulsants and or mood stabilizers, such as carbamazepine and phenytoin, are powerful inducers of several CYP, including CYP3A and UGTs.3, 16 Phenobarbital and primidone are less frequently used in psychiatric patients but are also powerful metabolic inducers. Valproic acid is not an inducer; however, it inhibits UGTs and some CYPs particularly CYP2C9 ; . Gabapentin, levetiracetam, and tiagabine are neither metabolic inducers nor inhibitors. Three other anticonvulsants that are usually considered weak inducers are topiramate, lamotrigine, and oxcarbazepine.3, 16 Topiramate may mildly induce CYP3A. Lamotrigine is probably a weak UGT inducer. In a recent review, 3 one of us J.d.L. ; described oxcarbazepine as a weak inducer that is unlikely to cause clinically significant induction. However, new publications17 and new clinical experience appear to indicate that oxcarbazepine has the potential to be an inducer of CYP3A and UGTs.

Long [as] there is no prejudice to the defendant." United States v. Frank, 156 F.3d 332, 337 2d Cir.1998 ; . Thus, even if the jury convicted Milstein on the conspiracy count based on evidence of an overt act not * 71 specified in the indictment e.g., an overt act involving drugs deemed misbranded because they are dangerous to health even when used as their labeling directed ; , the jury's reliance on that evidence would not require vacatur of Milstein's conspiracy conviction absent some indication that Milstein suffered prejudice as a result. Here, no indication of such prejudice is before us. Milstein had notice of the contamination evidence by August 1999, more than five months before his jury trial began. [25] Vacatur of a conviction may be warranted where instructions would permit the jury to "convict the defendant of conspiracy without finding that he had any of the objectives alleged in the indictment." United States v. Gallerani, 68 F.3d 611, 618 2d Cir.1995 ; . Here, however, the jury instructions did not impermissibly broaden the objectives of the conspiracy as alleged in the indictment. The indictment alleged that Milstein and others conspired, inter alia, to "introduce and deliver for introduction into interstate commerce drugs that were misbranded." Second Superseding Indictment 12. ; This objective, as alleged, is sufficiently broad to encompass distribution not only of drugs that are misbranded because they have been repackaged in forged materials that misstate their origin, see 21 U.S.C. 352 a ; , b ; , i ; but also of drugs that are misbranded because they are "dangerous to health when used in the dosage or manner, or with the frequency or duration prescribed, recommended, or suggested in the labeling thereof, " id. 352 j ; . The indictment also alleged, in the introductory section that was incorporated by reference into Counts One through Five, that Milstein and others "sold . re-packaged drugs as if they were the original product from the licensed manufacturers, thus distributing misbranded drugs" Second Superseding Indictment 6 ; emphasis added ; . Although as to the substantive offense charged in Count Three this allegation is sufficiently specific to restrict the government to proving an essential element of the offense i.e., that the drugs were misbranded ; through a particular set of facts i.e., that the drugs were repackaged using forged materials that mischaracterized their origin ; , insofar as the conspiracy alleged in Count One is concerned, this allegation at most describes overt acts specified in the indictment. The allegation does not, by its terms, address the objectives of the charged conspiracy, and we do not understand the allegation to narrow those objectives. Cf. United States v. Salameh, 152 F.3d 88, 146 2d Cir.1998 ; indictment's repeated references to the World Trade Center did not require the government to prove a specific conspiracy to bomb the World Trade Center where World Trade Center bombing was not listed as an object of the conspiracy, but merely as one of several overt acts alleged to have been committed in furtherance of the alleged conspiracy "to commit offenses against the United States" ; . Accordingly, we conclude that the introduction of the contamination evidence and the district court's instructions pertinent to that evidence did not constructively amend Count One of the indictment. B. Statute of Limitations [26] Milstein also argues that his conspiracy conviction was barred by the five-year statute of limitations, see 18 U.S.C. 3282. The original indictment against Milstein was returned on September 16, 1998; thus, for the conspiracy charge not to be time-barred, the government was required to allege and prove at least one overt act that occurred on or after September 16, 1993. See, e.g., Salmonese, 352 F.3d at 614. The indictment alleged, inter alia, that Milstein twice caused checks, * 72 totaling $47, 350 and representing proceeds from the sale of prescription drugs, to be deposited in an account at the First International Bank of Israel in Switzerland the "Swiss account" ; on September 17, 1993. Those two acts were the only overt acts within the limitations period that were alleged to have been committed by Milstein himself, and he argues that the evidence as to his commission of those acts was insufficient to allow the jury to consider them. He also argues that those two acts were at most mere acts of concealment and therefore that they cannot serve to extend the life of the conspiracy. These contentions are meritless. To begin with, Milstein's premise, i.e., that the conspiracy charge against him would be [27] time-barred unless the government could prove that Milstein himself committed overt acts within the limitations period, is legally flawed. Foreseeable acts of one co-conspirator in furtherance of the conspiracy are attributable to all co-conspirators. See, e.g., United States v. Ben Zvi, 242 F.3d 89, 97 2d Cir.2001 ; statute of limitations depends on timely overt act by either the defendant or a. Description: The depression therapy market is one of the largest in the world. Several antidepressants have achieved blockbuster status. Although the market for antidepressants continues to grow, the rate of growth has slowed, in part because of generics competition. By 2010, the market-leading antidepressants will all face generics competition, at least in the United States. In this report, we examine the current antidepressant market and discuss the effect that increasing generics competition will have. Business Implications - Depression is a major health problem. The World Health Organization WHO ; predicts that by 2020 depression will be the second- largest cause of the global health burden. The disease is the central nervous system CNS ; disorder with the highest prevalence-- about 40 million diagnosed cases in the United States, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom, and Japan. In the United States, there are 15 million cases of depression. The diagnosis rate for depression should continue to rise as public awareness of the disease increases. - Antidepressant sales constitute the largest segment of the CNS market, approximately 24%. In 2004, global sales of antidepressant agents exceeded $15 billion. Japan is currently a relatively unimportant market for antidepressants, constituting about 5% of the global market; Europe 19% ; and especially the United States 71% ; account for most of the global sales of antidepressants. - Global sales of branded antidepressants exceeded $14 billion in 2004; U.S. sales totaled $9.9 billion. Venlafaxine Wyeth's Effexor ; and sertraline Pfizer's Zoloft ; led the global market, each generating sales of $3.3 billion. Nevertheless, as a result of the expiration of patents covering some of the leading antidepressant drugs, the market share of generic antidepressants increased from 20% in 2000 to 42% by volume ; in 2004, a trend we expect to continue. - Over the next five years, generic forms of nearly all the leading branded antidepressants will emerge. Sertraline's patent, for example, expires in 2005-2006 in key major markets, and challenges to patents covering venlafaxine and escitalopram Forest Lundbeck's Lexapro ; will likely lead to the availability of generic forms of these products in the United States by 2009 and 2010, respectively. - As a result of patient expiries, we expect the value of the U.S. antidepressant market to decline by 2.1% per year between 2004 and 2009 and the market share of generics to increase about 75% by volume. This decline may be lessened if Wyeth succeeds in upholding its key patents on venlafaxine. ; The impact on the global market will be less pronounced but still significant.

Antidepressants of interest will be all those that are currently marketed in the U.K, according to the British National Formulary BNF ; as of March, 2003. Therefore, antidepressants that have become unavailable before March, 2003 are not included in our study. Drug exposure will be ascertained by examining all prescription records during the study period, and identifying the first occurrence of a prescription for paroxetine, fluoxetine, sertraline, fluvoxamine, citallpram escitalopram SSRIs ; , or other non-SSRI antidepressants listed in Appendix 7.1. Prescriptions will be classified as incident if there is no previous record of a prescribed antidepressant prior to this prescription. We will exclude any subjects whose prescription records are found not to be new, according to this definition. Subsequently, the date of prescription for this medication will become the subject's index date. Patients will be categorized according to their initial antidepressant prescription during the study period. Switching to, and adding on, another antidepressant will be considered stoppage of initial treatment and the patient will be censored from that time onward, this includes those that switch from one SSRI to another SSRI Indication for drug use is not explicitly stated in the GPRD. Therefore, we make inferences for the likely indication by looking for diagnoses of depression, and or an anxiety disorder, in the 18 months previous to each patient's prescription date, or in the following 14 days. Initial analyses have suggested that many patients may have the depression anxiety records on the date of prescribing, or in the following days. During the follow-up phase of the study , we will follow patients forward, from their index date up to one of the following events: the initial drug is stopped, a suicidal endpoint is observed, death from other causes ; , de-registration from the GPRD, or the end of the study period. For those who were censored because of initial treatment discontinuation and who do not start an alternative therapy within 30 days ; , we will also include 30 days post treatment as a period of risk for suicidal events. Duration of therapy will be calculated by looking at drug amount and prescription days. For those prescription records that are missing this information, we will estimate the duration of therapy by using the drug-specific median values for amount and prescription days from those in our cohort with these data.

Thase, Western Psychiatric Institute, Dept. of Psychiatry, 3811 O'Hara Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15213, USA, Email: thaseme msx.upme P. Londborg, J. R. Calabrese Objective: To examine the clinical response to c8talopram in patients who are unable to tolerate fluoxetine. Methods: Fluoxetine-treated patients with MDD experiencing intolerable adverse events were discontinued from fluoxetine and entered a singleblind, placebo washout period for 2-4 weeks prior to switching to citlopram 20 mg day. Titration of citalopram was permitted to 10 or mg day over a 6-week period. Results: Fifty-five patients were enrolled in this trial and received a mean citalopram dose of 24.6 mg day. The most common reasons for patients discontinuing fluoxetine treatment were reduced libido 42% ; , anorgasmia 23% of females ; and insomnia 22% ; . Adverse events associated with fluoxetine did not usually reoccur with citalopram treatment and no patients discontinued citalopram as a result of adverse events. Citalipram produced a significant reduction in HAM-D scores after 1 week of treatment, and after 6 weeks of treatment the response rate on the CGI Improvement scale 'much' or 'very much' improved ; was 67%. Conclusions: Citalopram is a safe and effective treatment in patients with depression who are unable to tolerate fluoxetine. References: S. Noble, et al 1997 ; : Citalopram, CNS Drugs; 8: 410-432 T.

In Santiago de Chile, 236 out of a total of 250 male partners of infertile couples have been investigated for asymptomatic chlamydial urethritis, using urine samples for antigen detection. This group forms part of a project on the role of chlamydial infection and sperm function see below ; . Final results are expected by mid-1996. In Indonesia, one centre each in Surabaya and in Ujung Pandang will investigate the prevalence of Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis in both partners of infertile couples, patients with ectopic pregnancy, antenatal women, men and women attending an STD clinic and a group of 300 female commercial sex workers. It is expected that these studies will be under way by early 1996. In China, a multicentre study is planned to start in 1996 in which 1622 subjects will be recruited in each of three cities Kunming, Shanghai and Shenzhen ; making a total of 4866 subjects. The main purpose of the study is to investigate the prevalence of gonorrhoea and Chlamydia infection in specific population groups in more developed cities in China and risk factors of STD transmission. The population groups to be investigated are patients attending STD clinics, women attending family planning clinics, prostitutes, and men visiting prostitutes. The Task Force is very conscious of the need to conduct studies on STD prevalence in sub-Saharan Africa and contacts have been made in Zimbabwe where the Task Force will fund a project. Up to 250 men under the age of 35 who present with urethral discharge will provide urethral swab samples for EIA detection of chlamydial antigen and urine samples for PCR testing for Chlamydia. In addition, a sample of up to 500 male factory workers without urethral discharge will have urinary PCR testing for Chlamydia.
