Interactions between your drugs

Major

dexAMETHasone grazoprevir

Applies to: Adrenocot (dexamethasone) and elbasvir / grazoprevir

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with moderate inducers of CYP450 3A4 may significantly decrease the plasma concentrations of elbasvir and grazoprevir, both of which are substrates of the isoenzyme. In 10 study subjects, administration of elbasvir (50 mg once daily) with the moderate CYP450 3A4 inducer efavirenz (600 mg once daily) decreased elbasvir peak plasma concentration (Cmax), systemic exposure (AUC) and trough plasma concentration (Cmin) by 45%, 54% and 59%, respectively, compared to administration of elbasvir alone. Likewise, when grazoprevir 200 mg once daily and efavirenz 600 mg once daily were given together to 12 study subjects, grazoprevir Cmax, AUC and Cmin decreased by 87%, 83% and 69%, respectively.

MANAGEMENT: Given the risk of reduced viral susceptibility and resistance development associated with subtherapeutic antiviral drug levels, concomitant use of elbasvir-grazoprevir with moderate CYP450 3A4 inducers should generally be avoided.

Drug and food interactions

Minor

grazoprevir food

Applies to: elbasvir / grazoprevir

Food does not appear to have clinically significant effects on the pharmacokinetics of elbasvir and grazoprevir. When a single 50 mg-100 mg dose of elbasvir-grazoprevir was administered to healthy study subjects with a high-fat meal (900 kcal; 500 kcal from fat), elbasvir peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) decreased by 15% and 11%, respectively, while grazoprevir Cmax and AUC increased by 2.8- and 1.5-fold, respectively, compared to administration under fasting conditions. According to the product labeling, elbasvir-grazoprevir may be administered with or without food.

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.
