Rhabdomyolysis during adjunctive treatment with cariprazine in a clozapine-resistant schizophrenia patient.
International Clinical Psychopharmacology 2023 December 28
We report the case of a 49-year-old male treatment-resistant schizophrenia patient, whose treatment with clozapine and sertraline was supplemented with cariprazine 1.5 mg/day while regularly presenting for electroconvulsive therapy. After 3 weeks of adjunctive treatment with cariprazine, blood tests revealed pronounced signs of rhabdomyolysis, including a creatine kinase serum level of 20 386 U/L and an AST serum level of 696 U/L. Clinically, the patient did not report somatic symptoms other than mild back pain. After discontinuation of cariprazine and normal saline infusion, the above-mentioned findings resolved rapidly. Although very rare, rhabdomyolysis can be a potentially dangerous side effect of cariprazine and clinicians should be aware of its possible occurrence.
