The regular use of psychotropic medications, such as antidepressants (i.e., SSRIs, tricyclic antidepressants, and monoamine oxidase inhibitors), antipsychotics, and mood stabilizers. 9. Concomitant dosing of psilocybin with known UGT1A10 and UGT1A9 inhibitors (e.g., diclofenac and probenecid) will be avoided. \[There is no exclusion criterion based on the use of medications or substances that are inhibitors or inducers of CYP450 enzymes.\] 10.
