Clinicians should be aware of the potential for activating side effects of antidepressants in younger children and regulatory warnings of potential for an increased risk of suicidality in children. All doses shown are for oral administration.

CYP: cytochrome P450; ECG: electrocardiogram; OCD: obsessive-compulsive disorder; P-gp: P-glycoprotein; SGA: second-generation antipsychotic; SSRI: selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor; TCA: tricyclic antidepressant.

* Common generally mild adverse effects of SSRIs seen in children treated for various anxiety disorders may include headache, anorexia, vomiting, sleep disturbance, and somnolence.

¶ This table notes when agents are moderate or strong inhibitors of CYP isoenzymes as well as when agents are major substrates of CYP isoenzymes or P-gp. Significant interactions can occasionally occur due to weak inhibition of CYP isoenzymes (eg, target drug is highly dependent on CYP metabolism and has a narrow therapeutic index). Accordingly, specific interactions should be checked using a drug interactions program.

Δ Sertraline, fluoxetine, and fluvoxamine are approved for treatment of OCD in children age ≥6, 7, and 8 years respectively in the United States. Clomipramine is approved for treatment of OCD in children age ≥10 years in the United States.

◊ Dose-related ECG changes have been reported in children and close monitoring is necessary with larger doses. According to the product information approved in the United States, doses >2.5 mg/kg per day are not recommended in children.
