ड्रोनेडेरोन और मेफ्लोक्वीन का इंटरैक्शन

Ketoconazole (Potent Inhibitor of CYP3A4) Coadministration of a single 500 mg oral dose of mefloquine with 400 mg of ketoconazole once daily for 10 days in 8 healthy volunteers resulted in an increase in the mean C max and AUC of mefloquine by 64% and 79%, respectively, and an increase in the mean elimination half-life of mefloquine from 322 hours to 448 hours.

Other Drugs that Prolong the QTc Interval Coadministration of other drugs known to alter cardiac conduction (e.g., anti-arrhythmic or beta-adrenergic blocking agents, calcium channel blockers, antihistamines or H 1 -blocking agents, tricyclic antidepressants and phenothiazines) might also contribute to a prolongation of the QTc interval.

However, mefloquine is metabolized by CYP3A4 and inhibitors of CYP3A4 may modify the pharmacokinetics/metabolism of mefloquine, leading to an increase in mefloquine plasma concentrations and potential risk of adverse reactions.

Therefore, mefloquine hydrochloride tablets should be used with caution when administered concomitantly with CYP3A4 inhibitors.

Substrates and Inhibitors of P-glycoprotein It has been shown in vitro that mefloquine is a substrate and an inhibitor of P-glycoprotein.
