फ्लुवास्टेटिन और जेमफाइब्रोज़िल का इंटरैक्शन

Drug Interactions (A) HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitors The concomitant administration of LOPID with simvastatin is contraindicated (see CONTRAINDICATIONS and WARNINGS ).

OATP1B1 substrates – Gemfibrozil is an inhibitor of organic anion-transporter polyprotein (OATP) 1B1 and may increase exposure of drugs that are substrates of OATP1B1 (e.g., atrasentan, atorvastatin, bosentan, ezetimibe, fluvastatin, glyburide, SN-38 [active metabolite of irinotecan], rosuvastatin, pitavastatin, pravastatin, rifampin, valsartan, olmesartan).

(D) OATP1B1 substrates Gemfibrozil is an inhibitor of OATP1B1 transporter and may increase exposure of drugs that are substrates of OATP1B1 (e.g., atrasentan, atorvastatin, bosentan, ezetimibe, fluvastatin, glyburide, SN-38 [active metabolite of irinotecan], rosuvastatin, pitavastatin, pravastatin, rifampin, valsartan, olmesartan).

Concomitant therapy with LOPID and an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor is associated with an increased risk of skeletal muscle toxicity manifested as rhabdomyolysis, markedly elevated creatine kinase (CPK) levels, and myoglobinuria, leading in a high proportion of cases to acute renal failure and death.

IN PATIENTS WHO HAVE HAD AN UNSATISFACTORY LIPID RESPONSE TO EITHER DRUG ALONE, THE BENEFIT OF COMBINED THERAPY WITH LOPID AND an HMG-CoA REDUCTASE INHIBITOR DOES NOT OUTWEIGH THE RISKS OF SEVERE MYOPATHY, RHABDOMYOLYSIS, AND ACUTE RENAL FAILURE (see PRECAUTIONS, Drug Interactions ).

Steps to Prevent or Reduce the Risk of Myopathy and Rhabdomyolysis Avoid concomitant use of fluvastatin sodium extended-release tablets with gemfibrozil, cyclosporin, and fluconazole.

• Gemfibrozil : Avoid use with fluvastatin sodium extended-release tablets.

Drug Interactions That Increase the Risk of Myopathy and Rhabdomyolysis with Fluvastatin Sodium Extended-Release Tablets Gemfibrozil Clinical impact There is an increased risk of myopathy/rhabdomyolysis when fluvastatin sodium extended-release tablets are administered with gemfibrozil Intervention Avoid concomitant use of gemfibrozil with fluvastatin sodium extended-release…

When used concomitantly with fluvastatin sodium extended-release tablets, lipid modifying doses (≥ 1 g/day) of niacin, fibrates, and colchicine may also increase the risk of myopathy and rhabdomyolysis [see Drug Interactions ( 7.1 )] .

• Fibrates, Lipid-modifying doses (≥ 1 g/day) of Niacin, and Colchicine : Consider if the benefit of concomitant use with fluvastatin sodium extended-release tablets outweighs the increased risk of myopathy and rhabdomyolysis.
