Interaction entre Ciclosporine et Fluvastatine

• Cyclosporine and Fluconazole : Avoid use with fluvastatin sodium extended-release tablets.

Intervention Avoid concomitant use of cyclosporine with fluvastatin sodium extended-release tablets.

Cyclosporine Clinical impact Cyclosporine coadministration increases fluvastatin exposure.

The risk of myopathy and rhabdomyolysis may be increased with concomitant use of cyclosporine with fluvastatin sodium extended-release tablets.

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.

Cyclosporine may reduce the clearance of digoxin, colchicine, prednisolone, HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins), aliskiren, bosentan, dabigatran, repaglinide, NSAIDs, sirolimus, etoposide, and other drugs.

HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitors (Statins) Literature and postmarketing cases of myotoxicity, including muscle pain and weakness, myositis, and rhabdomyolysis, have been reported with concomitant administration of cyclosporine with lovastatin, simvastatin, atorvastatin, pravastatin, and rarely fluvastatin.

When concurrently administered with cyclosporine, the dosage of these statins should be reduced according to label recommendations.

Statin therapy needs to be temporarily withheld or discontinued in patients with signs and symptoms of myopathy or those with risk factors predisposing to severe renal injury, including renal failure, secondary to rhabdomyolysis.
