The effects of probenecid on the disposition of risperidone and olanzapine in healthy volunteers

Abstract

Inhibition of uridine diphosphoglucuronate-glucuronosyltransferase appeared to influence the disposition of olanzapine but not risperidone. Phase 2 metabolism may significantly influence the disposition of antipsychotic drugs and may be an important aspect of the variability in metabolism, participation in drug-drug interactions, and clinical response to some antipsychotic agents.
