Influence of domperidone on pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of the dopamine agonist rotigotine

Abstract: WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT THIS SUBJECT• Rotigotine transdermal patch is a new non-ergolinic dopamine agonist developed for the treatment of Parkinson's disease and restless legs syndrome.• Peripheral dopaminergic side-effects of dopamine agonists such as nausea and vomiting can be prevented by the antiemetic agent domperidone. WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS• The study results show no evidence for an interaction of domperidone on bioavailability and steady-state pharmacokinetics of transdermal rotigotine.• Co-administr… Show more

“…No formal sample size calculation was performed for this exploratory study. However, the results of previous investigations indicated that a sample size of 36 complete cases was sufficient to provide valid parameter estimations for the given population. All subjects who received ≥1 dose of study medication were included in the safety analysis.…”

“…A second pathway is the formation of N‐desalkyl metabolites with subsequent conjugation [4]. There is no pharmacokinetic interaction with levodopa/carbidopa [5] and rotigotine can be co‐administered with the anti‐emetic domperidone without changes in the pharmacokinetics of rotigotine [6]. Randomized, placebo‐controlled studies have demonstrated efficacy in early Parkinson's disease (PD) as monotherapy [7, 8] and in combination with levodopa in advanced patients [9, 10].…”

“…No effects on the pharmacokinetics of rotigotine were observed when it was coadministered with levodopa and carbidopa [5,21], domperidone [5,22], or omeprazole [5]. No effects on levodopa, carbidopa [5,21] or ethinylestradiol/levonorgestrel [5] pharmacokinetics were observed when they were coadministered with rotigotine.…”
