क्लैरिथ्रोमाइसिन और नेविरापिन का इंटरैक्शन

Miscellaneous Cytochrome P450 Inducers: Efavirenz Nevirapine Rifampicin Rifabutin Rifapentine Use With Caution Inducers of CYP3A enzymes, such as efavirenz, nevirapine, rifampicin, rifabutin, and rifapentine will increase the metabolism of clarithromycin, thus decreasing plasma concentrations of clarithromycin, while increasing those of 14-OH-clarithromycin.

Alternative antibacterial treatment should be considered when treating patients receiving inducers of CYP3A.

Since the microbiological activities of clarithromycin and 14-OH-clarithromycin are different for different bacteria, the intended therapeutic effect could be impaired during concomitant administration of clarithromycin and enzyme inducers.

Antibiotics: Clarithromycin ↓ Clarithromycin ↑ 14-OH clarithromycin Clarithromycin exposure was significantly decreased by nevirapine; however, 14-OH metabolite concentrations were increased.

Because clarithromycin active metabolite has reduced activity against Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex , overall activity against this pathogen may be altered.

Alternatives to clarithromycin, such as azithromycin, should be considered.
