What the FDA labels say
From the Darunavir (PREZISTA) label · effective 2025-08-29
…elbasvir/grazoprevir Lipid modifying agents: lomitapide, lovastatin, simvastatin Opioid Antagonist: naloxegol PDE-5 inhibitor: sildenafil when used for treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension Sedatives/hypnotics: orally administered midazolam, triazolam Co-administration of PREZISTA/ritonavir is contraindicated with drugs that are highly dependent on CYP3A for clearance…
Sedatives/hypnotics: orally administered midazolam, triazolam ↑ midazolam ↑ triazolam Co-administration is contraindicated due to potential for serious and/or life-threatening reactions such as prolonged or increased sedation or respiratory depression.
Other: trazodone ↑ trazodone Antifungals : itraconazole, isavuconazole, ketoconazole, posaconazole ↑ darunavir ↑ itraconazole ↑ isavuconazole ↑ ketoconazole ↔ posaconazole Monitor for increased PREZISTA/ritonavir and/or antifungal adverse events with concomitant use of these antifungals.
Antidepressants : Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs): paroxetine, sertraline ↓ paroxetine ↓ sertraline If either sertraline or paroxetine is initiated in patients receiving PREZISTA/ritonavir, dose titrating the SSRI based on a clinical assessment of antidepressant response is recommended.
Monitor for antidepressant response in patients on a stable dose of sertraline or paroxetine who start treatment with PREZISTA/ritonavir.
From the Trazodone (RALDESY TM) label · effective 2026-09-01
The use of RALDESY Should be avoided in patients with known QT prolongation or in combination with other drugs that are inhibitors of CYP3A4 (e.g., itraconazole, clarithromycin, voriconazole), or known to prolong QT interval including Class 1A antiarrhythmics (e.g., quinidine, procainamide) or Class 3 antiarrhythmics (e.g., amiodarone, sotalol), certain antipsychotic…
CYP3A4 Inhibitors: Consider RALDESY dose reduction based on tolerability ( 2.5 , 7 ).
Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors Clinical Impact: The concomitant use of RALDESY and strong CYP3A4 inhibitors increased the exposure of trazodone compared to the use of RALDESY alone.
Intervention: If RALDESY is used with a potent CYP3A4 inhibitor, the risk of adverse reactions, including cardiac arrhythmias, may be increased and a lower dose of RALDESY should be considered [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) , Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ].
