id="Trazodone.Introduction"><h3>Introduction</h3><p>Trazodone is a serotoninergic modulating antidepressant that is used in therapy of depression, aggressive behavior and panic disorder. Trazodone therapy can be associated with transient, usually asymptomatic elevations in serum aminotransferase levels and has been linked to rare instances of clinically apparent acute liver injury.</p></div><div id="Trazodone.Background"><h3>Background</h3><p>Trazodone (traz' oh done) is a triazolopyridine derivative whose mechanism of action is believed to be inhibition of serotonin reuptake and modulation of serotonin receptor activity, which results in increased levels and activity of serotonin. Trazodone was approved for use in major depressive disorder in the United States in 1981 and remains in wide use, with more than 22 million prescriptions being filled yearly. Trazodone is also used off-label for control of aggressive behavior, panic disorder, anxiety, insomnia, substance abuse, bulimia, schizophrenia and dementia. Trazodone has anxiolytic activity and normalizes sleep patterns, effects that have made trazodone one of the most frequently prescribed drugs for insomnia. Trazodone is available in tablets of 50, 75, 100, 150 and 300 mg in several generic forms and formerly under the brand name Desyrel. The recommended dosage for depression in adults is 150 mg in divided doses that can be increased in 50 mg amounts to a maximum of 600 mg daily. An extended release formulation is also available in 150 mg tablets (Oleptro) which is given once daily. It is typically given in single, bedtime lower doses for insomnia. Common side effects of trazodone are drowsiness, fatigue, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, blurred vision, nausea, decreased libido, increased appetite and weight gain. Uncommon but potentially severe adverse events include suicidal thoughts and behaviors, activation of mania, serotonin syndrome, cardiac arrhythmias, orthostatic hypotension, priapism and angle-closure glaucoma.</p></div><div id="Trazodone.Hepatotoxicity"><h3>Hepatotoxicity</h3><p>Liver test abnormalities occur in a proportion of patients on trazodone, but elevations are usually modest and usually do not require dose modification or discontinuation. At least a dozen instances of acute, clinically apparent episodes of liver injury with marked liver enzyme elevations with or without jaundice have been reported in patients on trazodone. The onset of injury varies from a few days to 6 months and the pattern of serum enzyme elevations is usually hepatocellular, but mixed and cholestatic forms have also been described. Several cases have had immunoallergic features (rash, fever, eosinophilia), but these were not prominent. Autoimmune (autoantibodies) features are uncommon. Rare instances of acute liver failure and death from trazodone have been reported. Nefazodone, an antidepressant similar in structure and mechanism of action to trazodone, was approved for use in 1998, but is currently not commonly used because of multiple reports of acute hepatocellular injury, with a high mortality rate arising 2 weeks to 6 months after starting therapy.</p><p>Likelihood score: B (likely but rare cause of clinically apparent liver injury).</p></div><div id="Trazodone.Mechanism_of_Injury"><h3>Mechanism of Injury</h3><p>The mechanism by which trazodone causes liver injury is not known. Trazodone is extensively metabolized by the liver, mainly via the cytochrome P450 system (CYP3A4), and hepatotoxicity may be mediated by toxic intermediates of its metabolism. Trazodone is susceptible to multiple drug-drug interactions.</p></div><div id="Trazodone.Outcome_and_Management"><h3>Outcome and Management</h3><p>The serum aminotransferase elevations that occur on trazodone therapy are usually self-limited and do not require dose modification or discontinuation of therapy. Rare instances of acute liver failure and chronic hepatitis have been attributed to trazodone therapy. Persons with intolerance to trazodone may have similar reactions to other antidepressants, and careful monitoring is warranted if other such agents are used.</p><p>Drug Class: <a href="/books/n/livertox/Antidepressants/?report=reader">Antidepressant Agents</a></p><p>Other Drugs in the Subclass: <a href="/books/n/livertox/Nefazodone/?report=reader">Nefazodone</a></p></div></div><div id="Trazodone.CASE_REPORT"><h2 id="_Trazodone_CASE_REPORT_">CASE REPORT</h2><div id="Trazodone.Case_1_Acute_hepatitis_due_to"><h3>Case 1. Acute hepatitis due to trazodone.(<a class="bibr" href="#Trazodone.REF.1" rid="Trazodone.REF.1">1</a>)</h3><p>A 38 year old woman with rheumatoid arthritis developed itching followed by jaundice approximately 18 months after starting trazodone. She was also receiving prednisone (10 mg daily), methotrexate, hydroxychloroquine, nabumetone, propoxyphene, folate, birth control pills and alendronate, but had been on this regimen for many years. She had no history of liver disease or known risk behaviors for acquiring hepatitis and did not drink alcohol. On examination, she was jaundiced but had no rash, fever or signs of chronic liver disease. Laboratory results showed a bilirubin of 11.0 mg/dL with marked elevations in serum aminotransferase levels (Table). Her liver tests had been normal on routine testing several months previously. Tests for hepatitis A, B and C were negative as were autoantibodies. An abdominal ultrasound showed no evidence of biliary obstruction. A liver biopsy showed intrahepatic cholestasis, modest inflammation, and ballooning degeneration but no fat or fibrosis. Trazodone was stopped, and she began to improve rapidly. She was discharged from the hospital, but one week later restarted trazodone. After two days she had a return of her symptoms and jaundice. Within two weeks of stopping trazodone for the second time, she had no symptoms of liver disease and her liver tests were near-normal.</p><div id="Trazodone.Key_Points"><h4>Key Points</h4><div class="iconblock whole_rhythm clearfix ten_col table-wrap" id="figTrazodoneTc"><a href="/books/NBK548557/table/Trazodone.Tc/?report=objectonly" target="object" title="Table" class="img_link icnblk_img figpopup" rid-figpopup="figTrazodoneTc" rid-ob="figobTrazodoneTc"><img class="small-thumb" src="/books/NBK548557/table/Trazodone.Tc/?report=thumb" src-large="/books/NBK548557/table/Trazodone.Tc/?report=previmg" alt="Image " /></a><div class="icnblk_cntnt"><h4 id="Trazodone.Tc"><a href="/books/NBK548557/table/Trazodone.Tc/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobTrazodoneTc">Table</a></h4></div></div></div><div id="Trazodone.Laboratory_Values"><h4>Laboratory Values</h4><div class="iconblock whole_rhythm clearfix ten_col table-wrap" id="figTrazodoneTd"><a href="/books/NBK548557/table/Trazodone.Td/?report=objectonly" target="object" title="Table" class="img_link icnblk_img figpopup" rid-figpopup="figTrazodoneTd" rid-ob="figobTrazodoneTd"><img class="small-thumb" src="/books/NBK548557/table/Trazodone.Td/?report=thumb" src-large="/books/NBK548557/table/Trazodone.Td/?report=previmg" alt="Image " /></a><div class="icnblk_cntnt"><h4 id="Trazodone.Td"><a href="/books/NBK548557/table/Trazodone.Td/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobTrazodoneTd">Table</a></h4></div></div></div><div id="Trazodone.Comment"><h4>Comment</h4><p>Trazodone has been linked to rare cases of hepatic injury. The onset of injury is generally after several months and is typically hepatocellular, although cases with a shorter latency and with a cholestatic pattern of serum enzyme elevations have been described. In this case, the long latency period was atypical of trazodone and not characteristic of drug induced liver disease in general. Furthermore, the patient was taking other potentially hepatotoxic drugs (methotrexate, nabumetone). What makes the likelihood of trazodone being the cause of the injury was the inadvertent rechallenge that led to a rapid worsening of the injury. Furthermore, the liver biopsy showed no evidence of methotrexate injury and had changes that were considered typical of drug induced liver injury. The hepatic injury rapidly resolved with stopping therapy.</p></div></div></div><div id="Trazodone.PRODUCT_INFORMATION"><h2 id="_Trazodone_PRODUCT_INFORMATION_">PRODUCT INFORMATION</h2><p>
