Interação entre Buprenorfina e Voriconazol

Evaluate patients starting CYP3A4 inhibitors or stopping CYP3A4 inducers at frequent intervals for respiratory depression.

The risk of combining buprenorphine with other QT-prolonging agents is not known.

Inhibitors of CYP3A4 Clinical Impact: The concomitant use of BELBUCA and CYP3A4 inhibitors can increase the plasma concentration of buprenorphine, resulting in increased or prolonged opioid effects, particularly when an inhibitor is added after a stable dose of BELBUCA is achieved.

After stopping a CYP3A4 inhibitor, as the effects of the inhibitor decline, the buprenorphine plasma concentration will decrease [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , potentially resulting in decreased opioid efficacy or a withdrawal syndrome in patients who had developed physical dependence to buprenorphine.

If a CYP3A4 inhibitor is discontinued, consider increasing the BELBUCA dosage until stable drug effects are achieved.

Fentanyl (CYP3A4 Inhibition) Increased Reduction in the dose of fentanyl and other long-acting opiates metabolized by CYP3A4 should be considered when concomitantly administered with voriconazole.

Extended and frequent monitoring for opiate-associated adverse reactions may be necessary .

Reduction in the dose of alfentanil and other opiates metabolized by CYP3A4 (e.g., sufentanil) should be considered when concomitantly administered with voriconazole.

A longer period for monitoring respiratory and other opiate-associated adverse reactions may be necessary.

Reduction in the dose of oxycodone and other long-acting opiates metabolized by CYP3A4 should be considered when concomitantly administered with voriconazole.
