    In vitro studies with human liver microsomes showed that terbinafine does not inhibit the metabolism of tolbutamide, ethinylestradiol, ethoxycoumarin, cyclosporine, cisapride and fluvastatin. (Terbinafine label, Drug interactions)

  • TeriflunomideimmunosuppressantMinor

    IMNM is characterized by proximal muscle weakness and elevated serum CK, which persist despite discontinuation of statin treatment; positive anti-HMG CoA reductase antibody, muscle biopsy showing necrotizing myopathy, and improvement with immunosuppressive agents. (Fluvastatin label, Warnings and precautions)

  • TocilizumabimmunosuppressantMinor

    IMNM is characterized by proximal muscle weakness and elevated serum CK, which persist despite discontinuation of statin treatment; positive anti-HMG CoA reductase antibody, muscle biopsy showing necrotizing myopathy, and improvement with immunosuppressive agents. (Fluvastatin label, Warnings and precautions)

  • TofacitinibimmunosuppressantMinor

    IMNM is characterized by proximal muscle weakness and elevated serum CK, which persist despite discontinuation of statin treatment; positive anti-HMG CoA reductase antibody, muscle biopsy showing necrotizing myopathy, and improvement with immunosuppressive agents. (Fluvastatin label, Warnings and precautions)

  • Toremifeneselective estrogen receptor modulatorMinor

    Toremifene is a weak inhibitor of CYP2C9. (Toremifene label, Drug interactions)

  • UstekinumabimmunosuppressantMinor

    IMNM is characterized by proximal muscle weakness and elevated serum CK, which persist despite discontinuation of statin treatment; positive anti-HMG CoA reductase antibody, muscle biopsy showing necrotizing myopathy, and improvement with immunosuppressive agents. (Fluvastatin label, Warnings and precautions)

  • VardenafilPDE5 inhibitorMinor

    The interaction is a consequence of blocking hepatic metabolism of vardenafil by ritonavir, a HIV protease inhibitor and a highly strong CYP3A4 inhibitor, which also inhibits CYP2C9. (Vardenafil label, Drug interactions)

  • VenlafaxineSNRIMinor

    CYP2C9 Venlafaxine did not inhibit CYP2C9 in vitro . (Venlafaxine label, Drug interactions)

  • Verapamilcalcium channel blockerMinor

    HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitors The use of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors that are CYP3A4 substrates in combination with verapamil has been associated with reports of myopathy/rhabdomyolysis. (Verapamil label, Drug interactions)

No significant interaction reported (1)

  • RaltegravirantiretroviralNo interaction

    Based on these data, ISENTRESS is not expected to affect the pharmacokinetics of drugs that are substrates of these enzymes or P-glycoprotein (e.g., protease inhibitors, NNRTIs, opioid analgesics, statins, azole antifungals, proton pump inhibitors and anti-erectile dysfunction agents). (Raltegravir label, Drug interactions)
