Interactions from the label

Major interactions (2)

  • BosentanCYP3A4 inducerMajor

    Co-administration of such combinations of a CYP2C9 inhibitor plus a strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitor with TRACLEER is not recommended. (Bosentan label, Drug interactions)

  • Moderate dual CYP3A4 and CYP2C9 inhibitors (fluconazole, amiodarone) or use of combined CYP3A4 and CYP2C9 inhibitors may increase exposure to macitentan: avoid co-administration with OPSUMIT ( 7.3 , 12.3 ). (Macitentan label, Drug interactions)

Moderate interactions (19)

  • AdefovirantiviralModerate

    OAT1/OAT3 Substrates (e.g., adefovir, ganciclovir, methotrexate) Clinical Impact Increased exposure of the interacting drug. [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] Prevention or Management Monitor for potential adverse reactions related to the co-administered drug. (Nitisinone label, Drug interactions)

  • AvanafilPDE5 inhibitorModerate

    HIV Protease inhibitor — Ritonavir (600 mg twice daily), a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor, which also inhibits CYP2C9, increased avanafil 50 mg single-dose C max and AUC equal to approximately 2-fold and 13-fold, and prolonged the half-life of avanafil to approximately 9 hours in healthy volunteers. (Avanafil label, Drug interactions)

  • Carvedilolbeta blockerModerate

    Amiodarone Amiodarone and its metabolite desethyl amiodarone, inhibitors of CYP2C9, and P- glycoprotein increased concentrations of the S(-)-enantiomer of carvedilol by at least 2 fold [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.5) ]. (Carvedilol label, Drug interactions)

  • CelecoxibNSAIDModerate

    Clinically Significant Interactions Affecting Co-Administered Drugs Sensitive CYP2C9 Substrates (e.g., celecoxib, tolbutamide) or CYP2C9 Substrates with a Narrow Therapeutic Index (e.g., phenytoin, warfarin) Clinical Impact Increased exposure of the co-administered drugs metabolized by CYP2C9. [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] Prevention or Management Reduce… (Nitisinone label, Drug interactions)

  • DiclofenacNSAIDModerate

    Co-administration of diclofenac with CYP2C9 inhibitors (e.g. voriconazole) may enhance the exposure and toxicity of diclofenac whereas co- administration with CYP2C9 inducers (e.g. rifampin) may lead to compromised efficacy of diclofenac. (Diclofenac label, Drug interactions)

  • Co-administration of diclofenac with CYP2C9 inhibitors (e.g., voriconazole) may enhance the exposure and toxicity of diclofenac [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] whereas co-administration with CYP2C9 inducers (e.g., rifampin) may lead to compromised efficacy of diclofenac. (Diclofenac and misoprostol label, Drug interactions)

  • DronabinolcannabinoidModerate

    Monitor for increased dronabinol-related adverse reactions when dronabinol oral solution is co-administered with inhibitors of CYP2C9 (e.g., amiodarone, fluconazole) and inhibitors of CYP3A4 enzymes (e.g., ketoconazole, itraconazole, clarithromycin, ritonavir, erythromycin, grapefruit juice). (Dronabinol label, Drug interactions)

  • Effect of TRIKAFTA on Other Drugs CYP2C9 Substrates Ivacaftor may inhibit CYP2C9; therefore, monitoring of the international normalized ratio (INR) during concomitant use of TRIKAFTA with warfarin is recommended. (Elexacaftor, tezacaftor, and ivacaftor label, Drug interactions)

  • GanciclovirantiviralModerate

    OAT1/OAT3 Substrates (e.g., adefovir, ganciclovir, methotrexate) Clinical Impact Increased exposure of the interacting drug. [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] Prevention or Management Monitor for potential adverse reactions related to the co-administered drug. (Nitisinone label, Drug interactions)

  • LacosamideanticonvulsantModerate

    Strong CYP3A4 or CYP2C9 Inhibitors Patients with renal or hepatic impairment who are taking strong inhibitors of CYP3A4 and CYP2C9 may have a significant increase in exposure to VIMPAT. (Lacosamide label, Drug interactions)

  • MeloxicamNSAIDModerate

    Thus concomitant usage of CYP2C9 inhibitors (such as amiodarone, fluconazole, and sulphaphenazole) may lead to abnormally high plasma levels of meloxicam due to reduced metabolic clearance [ see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.8 ); and Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 , 12.5 ) ]. (Meloxicam label, Drug interactions)

  • MethotrexateimmunosuppressantModerate

    OAT1/OAT3 Substrates (e.g., adefovir, ganciclovir, methotrexate) Clinical Impact Increased exposure of the interacting drug. [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] Prevention or Management Monitor for potential adverse reactions related to the co-administered drug. (Nitisinone label, Drug interactions)

  • NateglinidemeglitinideModerate

    …salicylates, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, non-selective beta-adrenergic-blocking agents, anabolic hormones (e.g., methandrostenolone), guanethidine, gymnema sylvestre, glucomannan, thioctic acid, and inhibitors of CYP2C9 (e.g., amiodarone, fluconazole, voriconazole, sulfinpyrazone) or in patients known to be poor metabolizers of CYP2C9 substrates, alcohol. (Nateglinide label, Drug interactions)

  • PhenytoinanticonvulsantModerate

    Clinically Significant Interactions Affecting Co-Administered Drugs Sensitive CYP2C9 Substrates (e.g., celecoxib, tolbutamide) or CYP2C9 Substrates with a Narrow Therapeutic Index (e.g., phenytoin, warfarin) Clinical Impact Increased exposure of the co-administered drugs metabolized by CYP2C9. [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] Prevention or Management Reduce the… (Nitisinone label, Drug interactions)

    Rosuvastatin plasma levels can be significantly increased with concomitant administration of inhibitors of CYP2C9 and transporters. (Rosuvastatin label, Drug interactions)

  • Torsemideloop diureticModerate

    CYP2C9: Concomitant use with CYP2C9 inhibitors can decrease torsemide clearance. (Torsemide label, Drug interactions)

[see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] Prevention or Management Reduce the dosage of the… (Nitisinone label, Drug interactions)

  • Zafirlukastleukotriene receptor antagonistModerate

    Zafirlukast exposure is likely to be increased by other moderate and strong CYP2C9 inhibitors. (Zafirlukast label, Precautions)
