Darunavir and Hydrocortisone interaction

Corticosteroids: dexamethasone (systemic) ↓ darunavir Co-administration of PREZISTA/ritonavir with systemic dexamethasone or other systemic corticosteroids that induce CYP3A may result in loss of therapeutic effect and development of resistance to darunavir.

Consider alternative corticosteroids.

Corticosteroids primarily metabolized by CYP3A: e.g. betamethasone budesonide ciclesonide fluticasone methylprednisolone mometasone triamcinolone ↑ corticosteroids Co-administration with corticosteroids (all routes of administration) of which exposures are significantly increased by strong CYP3A inhibitors can increase the risk for Cushing's syndrome and adrenal…

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

Concomitant administration of inhibitors of CYP3A4 may lead to increases in serum concentrations of ALKINDI SPRINKLE and increase the risk of adverse reactions associated with the use of excessive doses.

Intervention: Concomitant use of CYP3A4 inhibitors may require a decrease in the ALKINDI SPRINKLE dose.

CYP3A4 Inhibitors : concomitant administration may require a decrease in the ALKINDI SPRINKLE dose.

Table 2 Drug Interactions with ALKINDI SPRINKLE CYP3A4 Inhibitors Clinical Impact: Hydrocortisone is metabolized by cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4).

Examples: Anti-fungals: itraconazole, posaconazole, voriconazole Antibiotics: erythromycin and clarithromycin Antiretrovirals: ritonavir Grapefruit juice CYP3A4 Inducers Clinical Impact: Hydrocortisone is metabolized by cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4).
