Azelastine and fluticasone and Elvitegravir, cobicistat, emtricitabine, and tenofovir interaction

…Lipid-modifying Agents: lomitapide, lovastatin, simvastatin Phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5) Inhibitor: sildenafil when administered as REVATIO ® for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension Sedative/hypnotics: triazolam, orally administered midazolam Coadministration of GENVOYA is contraindicated with drugs that: Are highly dependent on CYP3A for clearance and for which…

Corticosteroids: e.g., betamethasone budesonide ciclesonide dexamethasone fluticasone methylprednisolone mometasone prednisone triamcinolone ↓ elvitegravir ↓ cobicistat ↑ corticosteroids Coadministration with oral dexamethasone or other systemic corticosteroids that induce CYP3A may result in loss of therapeutic effect and development of resistance to elvitegravir.

Consider alternative corticosteroids.

Coadministration with corticosteroids (all routes of administration) whose exposures are significantly increased by strong CYP3A inhibitors can increase the risk for Cushing's syndrome and adrenal suppression.

Alternative corticosteroids including beclomethasone and prednisolone (whose PK and/or PD are less affected by strong CYP3A inhibitors relative to other studied steroids) should be considered, particularly for long-term use.

Use of Cytochrome P450 3A4 Inhibitors Ritonavir and other strong cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) inhibitors can significantly increase plasma fluticasone propionate exposure, resulting in significantly reduced serum cortisol concentrations [see Drug Interactions ( 7.2 ) and Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] .

Use caution with the coadministration of azelastine hydrochloride and fluticasone propionate nasal spray and other potent CYP3A4 inhibitors, such as ketoconazole [see Drug Interactions ( 7.2 ) and Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] .

• Other potent CYP3A4 inhibitors, such as ketoconazole: use caution with coadministration.

Cytochrome P450 3A4 Ritonavir (a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor) significantly increased plasma fluticasone propionate exposure following administration of fluticasone propionate aqueous nasal spray, resulting in significantly reduced serum cortisol concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] .

Caution should be exercised when azelastine hydrochloride and fluticasone propionate nasal spray is coadministered with ketoconazole and other known strong CYP3A4 inhibitors.
