निकार्डिपिन और टैक्रोलिमस का इंटरैक्शन

Mild or Moderate CYP3A Inhibitors: Clotrimazole, antibiotics (e.g., verapamil, diltiazem, nifedipine, nicardipine), amiodarone, danazol, ethinyl estradiol, cimetidine, lansoprazole and omeprazole May increase tacrolimus whole blood trough concentrations and increase the risk of serious adverse reactions (e.g., neurotoxicity, QT prolongation) [see Warnings and…

• Hypertension: May require antihypertensive therapy; monitor relevant drug interactions.

Some antihypertensive drugs can increase the risk for hyperkalemia [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.8 )] .

Calcium-channel blocking agents may increase tacrolimus blood concentrations and require dosage reduction of ASTAGRAF XL [see Drug Interactions ( 7.2 )] .

Hypertension Hypertension is a common adverse reaction of ASTAGRAF XL therapy and may require antihypertensive therapy [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] .

• Oral or intravenous nicardipine may increase cyclosporine and tacrolimus plasma levels.

Frequent monitoring of trough blood levels of cyclosporine and tacrolimus is recommended when co-administering CARDENE I.V. ( 7.3 , 7.4 )

Tacrolimus Concomitant administration of intravenous nicardipine and tacrolimus may result in elevated plasma tacrolimus levels through nicardipine inhibition of hepatic microsomal enzymes, including CYP3A4.

Closely monitor plasma concentrations of tacrolimus during CARDENE I.V. administration, and adjust the dose of tacrolimus accordingly.
