ABSTRACT
In a randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel study, phenytoin was given in the presence and absence of fluconazole. Twenty healthy male subjects received phenytoin, 200 mg orally, on study days 1 to 3 and 18 to 20 and 250 mg intravenously on study days 4 and 21. Ten subjects received fluconazole, 200 mg orally, and 10 received placebo daily on study days 8 to 21. Serial blood samples were collected during a 24-hour period after the intravenous phenytoin dose. Fluconazole trough concentrations were determined on days 14, 18, and 21. Serum phenytoin area under the concentration-time curve from 0 to 24 hours increased 75% and minimum plasma drug concentration increased 128% after administration of fluconazole, 200 mg/day, for 14 days. These values were significantly greater than the 5% increase in area under the concentration-time curve from 0 to 24 hours and 11.6% increase in minimum plasma drug concentration in the placebo group. Fluconazole trough concentrations remained unchanged during the coadministration of phenytoin. The increased phenytoin concentrations in the presence of fluconazole suggest that fluconazole inhibits phenytoin metabolism. Serum concentration monitoring with a reduction in phenytoin dosage is clinically warranted in patients receiving phenytoin and concomitant fluconazole therapy.
