- isavuconazonium
Drug interactions
Moderate drug interactions
Moderate:
aminoglutethimide isavuconazonium
Applies to: aminoglutethimide and isavuconazonium
Aminoglutethimide may reduce the blood levels of isavuconazonium. In some cases, this may make the medication less effective.
Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact.
It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
Food/lifestyle interactions
No alcohol/food interactions were found. However, this does not necessarily mean no interactions exist. Always consult your healthcare provider.
Disease interactions
6 potential interactions Applies to: 5 conditions, including Hypotension, Adrenal Insufficiency, Liver Disease, Panhypopituitarism, and Short QT Syndrome.
Adrenal Insufficiency
Major:
aminoglutethimide
Aminoglutethimide has a major potential interaction with Adrenal Insufficiency.
Aminoglutethimide suppresses adrenal function and is indicated for the treatment of selected cases of Cushing's syndrome. It generally should not be used in patients with adrenocortical insufficiency.
Hypotension
Moderate:
aminoglutethimide
Aminoglutethimide has a moderate potential interaction with Hypotension.
Aminoglutethimide suppresses aldosterone production by the adrenal cortex, which may result in orthostatic or persistent hypotension. Therapy with aminoglutethimide should be administered cautiously in patients with or predisposed to hypotension. Blood pressure should be monitored at regular intervals, and patients should be advised not to rise abruptly from a sitting or recumbent position. Mineralocorticoid replacement therapy may be necessary.
Liver Disease
Moderate:
aminoglutethimide
Aminoglutethimide has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.
Aminoglutethimide is primarily metabolized by the liver. Therefore, the clearance and therapeutic activity of the drug may be altered in patients with hepatic impairment. In addition, aminoglutethimide may cause elevated levels of transaminases, alkaline phosphatase, and bilirubin. Therapy with aminoglutethimide should be administered cautiously in patients with compromised hepatic function. Liver function tests should be performed and monitored more closely during therapy.
Moderate:
isavuconazonium
Isavuconazonium has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.
The use of isavuconazonium has been associated with hepatic adverse reactions (e.g., elevations in ALT, AST, alkaline phosphatase, total bilirubin). Cases of more severe hepatic reactions (including hepatitis, cholestasis, hepatic failure including death) have been reported during therapy in patients with serious underlying medical conditions (e.g., hematologic malignancy). Liver-related laboratory tests should be evaluated at the start and during therapy. Isavuconazonium has not been studied in patients with severe liver dysfunction (Child-Pugh C) and should be used in these patients only when the benefits outweigh the risk. Clinical monitoring for drug-related side effects is recommended when treating patients with severe liver dysfunction.
Panhypopituitarism
Major:
aminoglutethimide
Aminoglutethimide has a major potential interaction with Panhypopituitarism.
Aminoglutethimide suppresses adrenal function and is indicated for the treatment of selected cases of Cushing's syndrome. It generally should not be used in patients with adrenocortical insufficiency.
Short QT Syndrome
Major:
isavuconazonium
Isavuconazonium has a major potential interaction with Short QT Syndrome.
Isavuconazonium shortened the QTc interval in a concentration-related manner. This drug is contraindicated in patients with familial short QT syndrome.
