概要

トラゾドンは​セロトニン2A拮抗薬/再取り込み阻害薬 (SARI)​であり、獣医療において抗不安薬および軽度の鎮静薬として広く使用されています。

  • ​臨床的有用性​: 状況的不安(雷雨、花火、動物病院への受診、旅行など)や、術後の運動制限・ケージレストの補助に非常に有効です。
  • ​補助療法​: 難治性の行動障害に対して、SSRI(フルオキセチンなど)やガバペンチンと併用されることがよくあります。
  • ​安全性​: 一般的に忍容性が高く、安全域が広いです。三環系抗うつ薬(TCA)と比較して抗コリン作用が少なく、発作のリスクも低いです。
  • ​ヒトでの用途​: うつ病、攻撃的行動、アルコールやコカインの離脱症状、片頭痛の予防、不眠症の治療に使用されます。

作用機序

Trazodone exerts its anxiolytic and sedative effects through multiple neurochemical pathways:

  • Serotonin Reuptake Inhibition: Blocks the serotonin transporter (SERT) → increases extracellular serotonin (5-HT) in the synaptic cleft.
  • 5-HT2A Receptor Antagonism: Blocks 5-HT2A receptors → prevents overstimulation by serotonin, contributing to its anxiolytic and antidepressant efficacy. Downregulation of these receptors can augment the efficacy of concurrent SSRIs.
  • Active Metabolite: Hepatic metabolism produces ​m-chlorophenylpiperazine (mCPP)​, which acts as a direct, non-selective serotonin receptor agonist.
  • Alpha-1 Adrenergic Antagonism: Blocks peripheral alpha-1 receptors → can cause mild vasodilation and hypotension.
  • Histamine (H1) Antagonism: Weak blockade of H1 receptors contributes to its sedative properties.

安全性・警告

禁忌

  • Hypersensitivity to trazodone
  • Concurrent use of MAO inhibitors (e.g., amitraz, selegiline)
  • Glaucoma
  • History of seizures
  • Urinary retention
  • Severe liver disease

有害事象

  • Sedation
  • Lethargy
  • Ataxia
  • Cardiac conduction disturbances
  • Increased anxiety (paradoxical)
  • Aggression (paradoxical)
  • Vomiting/gagging
  • Increased excitement
  • Increased appetite
  • Colitis
  • Serotonin syndrome (rare, usually with concurrent serotonergic drugs)
  • Excitability
  • Dry mouth
  • Third eyelid protrusion (in cats)

注意事項

Cardiac & Organ Impairment: Use with caution in patients with severe cardiac disease or hepatic or renal impairment. Pregnancy: FDA Category C. Animal studies show adverse effects at very high doses (15-50X). Weigh potential risks versus benefits in pregnant or nursing animals. Serotonin Syndrome: Risk increases significantly when combined with other serotonergic drugs (e.g., SSRIs, MAOIs, TCAs).

医薬品相互作用

Antihypertensive drugs

May increase reductions in blood pressure and cause hypotension

Aspirin

Increase risk for GI bleeding; monitor

Azole antifungals (e.g., ketoconazole, fluconazole)

May increase trazodone blood levels

CNS depressants

Use with trazodone may cause additive CNS depressant effects

Digoxin

Trazodone may increase digoxin levels

Macrolide antibiotics (e.g., erythromycin, clarithromycin)

May increase trazodone blood levels

Metoclopramide

Increased risk for serotonin syndrome

NSAIDs

Increased risk for GI bleeding; monitor

Phenothiazines

May increase trazodone blood levels; cause additive CNS effects

SSRI antidepressants (e.g., fluoxetine)

Increased risk for serotonin syndrome. Commonly used together, but monitor closely.

Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs)Major

Contraindicated; high risk of serotonin syndrome

ChlorphenamineModerate

Metabolized by CYP450 2D6; potential for altered metabolism and toxicity

CimetidineModerate

Metabolized by CYP450 2D6; potential for altered metabolism and toxicity

Serotonergic substancesMajor

Increased risk of serotonin syndrome, though adjunctive therapy is sometimes used cautiously

KetoconazoleMajor

Inhibits the breakdown of trazodone, leading to increased blood levels

CarbamazepineModerate

Increases the breakdown of trazodone, leading to decreased blood levels

ItraconazoleModerate

May inhibit the breakdown of trazodone (theoretical risk based on ketoconazole similarity)

監視

  • Clinical efficacy (behavioral calming)
  • Adverse effects (sedation, GI upset, paradoxical excitement)
  • Signs of serotonin syndrome (vomiting, diarrhea, seizures, hyperthermia, hyperesthesia, mydriasis)
  • Renal function (in patients with pre-existing renal disease)
  • Signs of serotonin syndrome (tremors, agitation, hyperthermia)
  • Efficacy of anxiety reduction

薬物動態

吸収

In humans, oral bioavailability of immediate-release tablets is about 65%. Presence of food increases absorption (AUC), decreases Cmax, and delays Tmax.

分布

Approximately 90-95% bound to plasma proteins. Volume of distribution ranges from 0.47-0.84 L/kg (in humans).

代謝

Extensive hepatic metabolism. Oxidative cleavage via CYP3A4 forms the active metabolite m-chlorophenylpiperazine (mCCP), which is further metabolized to inactive compounds via CYP2D6.

消失

Mostly (70-75%) excreted via renal mechanisms (only 0.13% unchanged in urine). About 21% is excreted in feces.

過剰投与

No specific information is available regarding trazodone overdoses in veterinary patients. In humans, the incidence of serious toxicity from trazodone overdose alone is low compared with tricyclic antidepressant overdoses. In the event of a substantial overdose, contact an animal poison control center for guidance. Monitor for profound sedation, ataxia, hypotension, and signs of serotonin syndrome.
