almotriptan conivaptan

Applies to: almotriptan and conivaptan

MONITOR: Coadministration with conivaptan may increase the plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of the CYP450 3A4 isoenzyme. The mechanism is decreased clearance due to inhibition of CYP450 3A4 activity by conivaptan. In pharmacokinetic studies with drugs that are primarily metabolized by CYP450 3A4 such as midazolam, simvastatin, and amlodipine, conivaptan has increased systemic exposure (AUC) by 2- to 3-fold.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if conivaptan must be used concurrently with medications that undergo metabolism by CYP450 3A4, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic range. Dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring may be appropriate for some drugs whenever conivaptan is added to or withdrawn from therapy, or the combination avoided altogether. If a clinical decision is made to discontinue concomitant medications at recommended doses, clinicians should allow an appropriate amount of time following the end of conivaptan administration before resuming these medications.

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.
