  • TrazodoneantidepressantModerate

    CYP3A4 Inducers: Increase in RALDESY dosage may be necessary ( 2.5 , 7 ). (Trazodone label, Drug interactions)

  • Treprostinilprostaglandin analogModerate

    Co-administration of a CYP2C8 enzyme inducer (e.g., rifampin) may decrease exposure to treprostinil. (Treprostinil label, Warnings and precautions)

  • TriamcinolonecorticosteroidModerate

    Hepatic enzyme inducers (e.g., barbiturates, phenytoin, carbamazepine, rifampin): Drugs which induce hepatic microsomal drug metabolizing enzyme activity may enhance the metabolism of corticosteroids and require that the dosage of the corticosteroid be increased. (Triamcinolone label, Drug interactions)

  • TriazolambenzodiazepineModerate

    Strong Inducers of CYP 3A Clinical implication Coadministration of triazolam with strong inducers of CYP3A4 can significantly decrease the plasma concentration of triazolam and may decrease effectiveness of triazolam. (Triazolam label, Drug interactions)

  • Valproic acidanticonvulsantModerate

    Hepatic enzyme-inducing drugs (e.g., phenytoin, carbamazepine, phenobarbital, primidone, rifampin) can increase valproate clearance, while enzyme inhibitors (e.g., felbamate) can decrease valproate clearance. (Valproic acid label, Drug interactions)

  • Verapamilcalcium channel blockerModerate

    CYP3A4 inducers decrease verapamil levels ( 7.1 ) (Verapamil label, Drug interactions)

  • VilazodoneSSRIModerate

    CYP3A4 Inducers: Consider increasing VIIBRYD dosage by 2-fold, up to 80 mg once-daily over 1 to 2 weeks when used concomitantly with strong CYP3A4 inducers for greater than 14 days ( 2.4 , 7 ). (Vilazodone label, Drug interactions)

  • Voriconazoleazole antifungalModerate

    Barbiturates usually depress griseofulvin activity by decreasing plasma levels and concomitant administration may require a dosage adjustment of the antifungal agent. (Griseofulvin label, Drug interactions)

  • WarfarinanticoagulantModerate

    Griseofulvin decreases the activity of warfarin-type anticoagulants, so that patients receiving these drugs concomitantly may require dosage adjustment of the anticoagulant during and after griseofulvin therapy. (Griseofulvin label, Drug interactions)

  • Zaleplonsedative-hypnoticModerate

    Multiple-dose administration of the potent CYP3A4 inducer rifampin (600 mg every 24 hours, q24h, for 14 days), however, reduced zaleplon C max and AUC by approximately 80%. (Zaleplon label, Drug interactions)

  • ZiprasidoneantipsychoticModerate

    Pharmacokinetic Interactions Carbamazepine Carbamazepine is an inducer of CYP3A4; administration of 200 mg twice daily for 21 days resulted in a decrease of approximately 35% in the AUC of ziprasidone. (Ziprasidone label, Drug interactions)

  • ZonisamideanticonvulsantModerate

    CYP3A4 Inducers If co-administration with a potent CYP3A4 inducer is necessary, the patient should be closely monitored and the dose of ZONISAMIDE and other drugs that CYP3A4 substrates may need to be adjusted [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . (Zonisamide label, Drug interactions)

Minor mentions (5)

  • ClonazepambenzodiazepineMinor

    The selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors sertraline (weak CYP3A4 inducer) and fluoxetine (CYP2D6 inhibitor), and the anti-epileptic drug felbamate (CYP2C19 inhibitor and CYP3A4 inducer) do not affect the pharmacokinetics of clonazepam. (Clonazepam label, Drug interactions)
