Nifedipin ve Takrolimus etkileşimi

Transplant patients on tacrolimus and nifedipine required from 26% to 38% smaller doses than patients not receiving nifedipine.

Nifedipine can increase the exposure to tacrolimus.

When nifedipine is co-administered with tacrolimus the blood concentrations of tacrolimus should be monitored and a reduction of the dose of tacrolimus considered.

Nifedipine has been shown to inhibit the metabolism of tacrolimus in vitro .

Immunosuppressive Drugs Tacrolimus: Tacrolimus has been shown to be metabolized via the CYP3A system.

Mild or Moderate CYP3A Inhibitors: Clotrimazole, antibiotics (e.g., verapamil, diltiazem, nifedipine, nicardipine), amiodarone, danazol, ethinyl estradiol, cimetidine, lansoprazole and omeprazole May increase tacrolimus whole blood trough concentrations and increase the risk of serious adverse reactions (e.g., neurotoxicity, QT prolongation) [see Warnings and…

• Hypertension: May require antihypertensive therapy; monitor relevant drug interactions.

Some antihypertensive drugs can increase the risk for hyperkalemia [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.8 )] .

Calcium-channel blocking agents may increase tacrolimus blood concentrations and require dosage reduction of ASTAGRAF XL [see Drug Interactions ( 7.2 )] .

Hypertension Hypertension is a common adverse reaction of ASTAGRAF XL therapy and may require antihypertensive therapy [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] .
