MONITOR: Coadministration with inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 may increase the plasma concentrations of both zopiclone and its pharmacologically active S(-) enantiomer, eszopiclone. Zopiclone has been shown in vitro to be metabolized by CYP450 3A4 and CYP450 2C8, while eszopiclone is primarily metabolized by CYP450 3A4 and 2E1 via demethylation and oxidation. In 18 healthy subjects, administration of a single 3 mg dose of eszopiclone with the potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor ketoconazole (400 mg daily for 5 days) increased eszopiclone half-life, peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) by 1.3-, 1.4- and 2.2-fold, respectively. In 10 healthy young subjects, itraconazole 200 mg daily given for 4 days increased the Cmax and AUC of a single 7.5 mg dose of zopiclone by 29% and 73%, respectively, and prolonged its half-life by 40%. A case report describes an 86-year-old woman who experienced morning drowsiness during coadministration of zopiclone and nefazodone, a known potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor. Zopiclone plasma concentrations were measured both during and after withdrawal of nefazodone therapy. Following discontinuation of nefazodone due to lack of therapeutic effect, the plasma concentration of S(-) zopiclone decreased from 107 to 16.9 ng/mL, and that of R(+) zopiclone decreased from 20.6 to 1.45 ng/mL. Limited data are available regarding use with moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitors. When 10 healthy young volunteers were given a single 7.5 mg dose of zopiclone on the 6th day of treatment with 500 mg erythromycin base three times daily, mean half-life, Cmax and AUC of zopiclone increased by approximately 42%, 38% and 77%, respectively, compared to administration with placebo. Plasma zopiclone concentration increased nearly 4-fold at 0.5 hour postdose and 2-fold at 1 hour postdose, and time to reach peak plasma concentration (Tmax) decreased from 2 hours to 1 hour, suggesting accelerated absorption due to increased gastric emptying induced by erythromycin.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when zopiclone or eszopiclone is coadministered with moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitors. A dosage reduction may be required if an interaction is suspected. Patients should be advised to avoid driving or operating hazardous machinery until they know how these medications affect them, preferably at least 12 hours after administration of the hypnotic.

GENERALLY AVOID: Alcohol may potentiate some of the pharmacologic effects of zopiclone and eszopiclone. Use in combination may result in additive central nervous system depression and/or impairment of judgment, thinking, and psychomotor skills.

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Administration of eszopiclone (the S-enantiomer of zopiclone) with or immediately after a high-fat/heavy meal may delay the onset of hypnotic effects. In healthy adults, administration of a 3 mg dose of eszopiclone after a high-fat meal decreased the mean peak plasma drug concentration (Cmax) by 21% and delayed the time to reach peak plasma drug concentration (Tmax) by approximately 1 hour. Theoretically, this interaction should also affect racemic zopiclone.

MANAGEMENT: Patients receiving zopiclone or eszopiclone should be advised to avoid consumption of alcohol. For faster sleep onset, eszopiclone and zopiclone should not be administered with or immediately after a high-fat/heavy meal.

MONITOR: Grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of orally administered drugs that are substrates of the CYP450 3A4 isoenzyme. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit. Because grapefruit juice inhibits primarily intestinal rather than hepatic CYP450 3A4, the magnitude of interaction is greatest for those drugs that undergo significant presystemic metabolism by CYP450 3A4 (i.e., drugs with low oral bioavailability). 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. Pharmacokinetic interactions involving grapefruit juice are also subject to a high degree of interpatient variability, thus the extent to which a given patient may be affected is difficult to predict.

MANAGEMENT: Patients who regularly consume grapefruit or grapefruit juice should be monitored for adverse effects and altered plasma concentrations of drugs that undergo significant presystemic metabolism by CYP450 3A4. Grapefruit and grapefruit juice should be avoided if an interaction is suspected. Orange juice is not expected to interact with these drugs.

Drug Interaction Classification

These classifications are only a guideline. The relevance of a particular drug interaction to a specific individual is difficult to determine. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting or stopping any medication.
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.
