What the FDA labels say
From the Lorlatinib (Lorbrena) label · effective 2026-06-26
• Strong CYP3A Inhibitors : Avoid concomitant use; reduce LORBRENA dose if concomitant use cannot be avoided.
Strong CYP3A Inhibitors Avoid concomitant use of LORBRENA with a strong CYP3A inhibitor.
Concomitant use with a strong CYP3A inhibitor increased lorlatinib plasma concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may increase the incidence and severity of adverse reactions of LORBRENA.
From the Darunavir (PREZISTA) label · effective 2025-08-29
Initiation of medications that inhibit or induce CYP3A may increase or decrease concentrations of PREZISTA/ritonavir, respectively.
Drugs that induce CYP3A activity would be expected to increase the clearance of darunavir and ritonavir, resulting in lowered plasma concentrations of darunavir and ritonavir.
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.
