Aprepitant i Fosaprepitant: interakcja

Inhibition of CYP3A4 by aprepitant, the active moiety, could result in elevated plasma concentrations of this drug, which is a CYP3A4 substrate, potentially causing serious or life-threatening reactions, such as QT prolongation, a known adverse reaction of pimozide [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] .

Hormonal Contraceptives: Efficacy of contraceptives may be reduced during treatment and for 1 month following administration of the last dose of either fosaprepitant or oral aprepitant.

Use of FOCINVEZ with strong or moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, diltiazem) may increase plasma concentrations of aprepitant and result in an increased risk of adverse reactions related to FOCINVEZ.

Advise patients to use effective alternative or back-up methods of contraception during treatment with FOCINVEZ and for 1 month following administration of the last dose of fosaprepitant or oral aprepitant [see Drug Interactions ( 7.1 ), and Use in Specific Populations ( 8.3 )] .
