Deflazakort i Worykonazol: interakcja

• Adrenal Dysfunction : Carefully monitor patients receiving voriconazole and corticosteroids (via all routes of administration) for adrenal dysfunction both during and after voriconazole treatment.

Patients receiving voriconazole and corticosteroids (via all routes of administration) should be carefully monitored for adrenal dysfunction both during and after voriconazole treatment.

Monitor for potential adrenal dysfunction when voriconazole is administered with other corticosteroids [see Warnings and Precautions (5.8) ].

Adrenal insufficiency has been reported in patients receiving azoles with or without concomitant corticosteroids.

In patients receiving azoles without corticosteroids adrenal insufficiency is related to direct inhibition of steroidogenesis by azoles.

Moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors: Give one third of the recommended dosage of EMFLAZA ( 7.1 )

Co-administration of deflazacort with clarithromycin, a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor, increased total exposure to 21-desDFZ by about 3-fold.

Therefore, give one third the recommended dosage of EMFLAZA when moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., clarithromycin, fluconazole, diltiazem, verapamil, grapefruit juice) are used concomitantly with EMFLAZA [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.5 ) and Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] .

CYP3A4 Inhibitors and Inducers Moderate or Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors The active metabolite of deflazacort, 21-desDFZ, is a substrate of CYP3A4 [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] .
