Major

Remdesivir (applies to remdesivir) renal dysfunction

Major Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility.

Pharmacokinetics of remdesivir have not been evaluated in patients with renal dysfunction. All patients must have estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) determined before starting this drug and during therapy as clinically appropriate. The excipient betadex sulfobutyl ether sodium is renally cleared and accumulates in patients with reduced renal function; administration of drugs formulated with betadex sulfobutyl ether sodium (such as this drug) is not recommended in patients with eGFR less than 30 mL/min.

Major Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit.
Moderate Moderately clinically significant. Usually avoid combinations; use it only under special circumstances.
Minor Minimally clinically significant. Minimize risk; assess risk and consider an alternative drug, take steps to circumvent the interaction risk and/or institute a monitoring plan.
Unknown No interaction information available.
