एफाविरेंज़ और फेनोबार्बिटोन का इंटरैक्शन

Potential for Other Drugs to Affect Efavirenz Drugs that induce CYP3A activity (e.g., phenobarbital, rifampin, rifabutin) would be expected to increase the clearance of efavirenz resulting in lowered plasma concentrations [ see Dosage and Administration ( 2.2 ) ].

Patients who are receiving concomitant anticonvulsant medications primarily metabolized by the liver, such as phenytoin and phenobarbital, may require periodic monitoring of plasma levels [see Drug Interactions ( 7.1 ) ] .

Anticonvulsants:Carbamazepine PhenytoinPhenobarbital ↓ carbamazepine * ↓ efavirenz * ↓ anticonvulsant ↓ efavirenz There are insufficient data to make a dose recommendation for efavirenz.

Potential for reduction in anticonvulsant and/or efavirenz plasma levels; periodic monitoring of anticonvulsant plasma levels should be conducted.

Alternative anticonvulsant treatment should be used.
