Gemfibrozyl i Rozuwastatyna: interakcja

Avoid concomitant use of LOPID with rosuvastatin.

If concomitant use cannot be avoided, initiate rosuvastatin at 5 mg once daily.

Drug Interactions (A) HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitors The concomitant administration of LOPID with simvastatin is contraindicated (see CONTRAINDICATIONS and WARNINGS ).

OATP1B1 substrates – Gemfibrozil is an inhibitor of organic anion-transporter polyprotein (OATP) 1B1 and may increase exposure of drugs that are substrates of OATP1B1 (e.g., atrasentan, atorvastatin, bosentan, ezetimibe, fluvastatin, glyburide, SN-38 [active metabolite of irinotecan], rosuvastatin, pitavastatin, pravastatin, rifampin, valsartan, olmesartan).

The dose of rosuvastatin should not exceed 10 mg once daily.

Steps to Prevent or Reduce the Risk of Myopathy and Rhabdomyolysis The concomitant use of rosuvastatin tablets with cyclosporine or gemfibrozil is not recommended. rosuvastatin tablets dosage modifications are recommended for patients taking certain antiviral medications, darolutamide, and regorafenib [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.6 )] .

Gemfibrozil Prevention or Management: Avoid concomitant use of gemfibrozil with rosuvastatin tablets.

Mechanism and Clinical Effect(s): Gemfibrozil significantly increased rosuvastatin exposure and gemfibrozil may cause myopathy when given alone.

Niacin, fibrates, and colchicine may also increase the risk of myopathy and rhabdomyolysis [see Drug Interactions ( 7.1) ].

Fenofibrates (e.g., fenofibrate and fenofibric acid) Prevention or Management: Consider if the benefit of using fibrates concomitantly with rosuvastatin tablets outweighs the increased risk of myopathy and rhabdomyolysis.
