Interactions between your drugs
darunavir venetoclax
Applies to: darunavir and venetoclax
GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with moderate inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 may increase the plasma concentrations of venetoclax, which is a substrate of the isoenzyme. In 11 previously treated non-Hodgkin's lymphoma patients, venetoclax peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 2.3- and 6.4-fold, respectively, when coadministered with 400 mg once daily for 7 days of ketoconazole, a potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor that also inhibits P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP). Increased venetoclax exposure may potentiate the risk of tumor lysis syndrome, particularly at initiation of therapy and during the dosage ramp-up phase, as well as other adverse effects such as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, neutropenia, anemia, and thrombocytopenia.
MANAGEMENT: Concomitant use of venetoclax with moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitors should generally be avoided. If coadministration is required, the manufacturer recommends that venetoclax dosage be reduced by at least 50%. The dosage used prior to initiating the CYP450 3A4 inhibitor may be resumed 2 to 3 days after discontinuation of the inhibitor.

Drug and food interactions
venetoclax food
Applies to: venetoclax
ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food enhances the oral bioavailability of venetoclax. Relative to fasting conditions, venetoclax systemic exposure (AUC) increased by approximately 3.4-fold when administered with a low-fat meal and by 5.1- to 5.3-fold when administered with a high-fat meal.
GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of venetoclax. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit. In general, the effect of grapefruit juice is concentration-, dose- and preparation-dependent, and can vary widely among brands. Certain preparations of grapefruit juice (e.g., high dose, double strength) have sometimes demonstrated potent inhibition of CYP450 3A4, while other preparations (e.g., low dose, single strength) have typically demonstrated moderate inhibition. Increased venetoclax exposure may potentiate the risk of tumor lysis syndrome, particularly at initiation of therapy and during the dosage ramp-up phase, as well as other adverse effects such as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, neutropenia, anemia, and thrombocytopenia.
MANAGEMENT: Venetoclax should be administered with a meal and water at approximately the same time each day. Patients should avoid consumption of grapefruit products, Seville oranges, and starfruit during treatment with venetoclax.

darunavir food
Applies to: darunavir
ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food enhances the absorption and oral bioavailability of darunavir administered in combination with low-dose ritonavir. The mechanism is unknown. When administered with food, the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of darunavir were approximately 30% higher than when administered in the fasting state. Darunavir exposure was similar for the range of meals studied. The total caloric content of the various meals evaluated ranged from 240 Kcal (12 grams fat) to 928 Kcal (56 grams fat).
MANAGEMENT: To ensure maximal oral absorption, darunavir coadministered with ritonavir should be taken with food. The type of food is not important.
