Interactions between your drugs

Major

atazanavir nebivolol

Applies to: atazanavir / cobicistat and nebivolol

MONITOR CLOSELY: Atazanavir has been shown to prolong the PR interval of the electrocardiogram in some patients. Theoretically, coadministration with other agents that prolong the PR interval (e.g., beta blockers, digoxin, lacosamide, mefloquine, verapamil) may result in elevated risk of conduction disturbances and atrioventricular block. In a pharmacokinetic study, no substantial additive effect on the PR interval was observed during coadministration of atazanavir (400 mg once a day) and atenolol (50 mg once a day). However, an additive effect cannot be excluded because data are limited and atazanavir has not been studied in combination with other agents that prolong the PR interval.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if atazanavir is used concomitantly with other agents that prolong the PR interval, particularly those that are metabolized by CYP450 3A4 (e.g., verapamil), since atazanavir is an inhibitor of that isoenzyme.

Moderate

nebivolol cobicistat

Applies to: nebivolol and atazanavir / cobicistat

MONITOR: Coadministration with cobicistat may increase the plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of the CYP450 3A4 or 2D6 isoenzymes and/or P-glycoprotein (P-gp) efflux transporter.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if cobicistat is used concomitantly with medications that undergo metabolism primarily by CYP450 3A4 and/or 2D6 or are substrates of P-glycoprotein, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic range. Dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring may be appropriate for some drugs whenever cobicistat is added to or withdrawn from therapy.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

atazanavir food

Applies to: atazanavir / cobicistat

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Administration of atazanavir with food enhances oral bioavailability and reduces pharmacokinetic variability. According to the manufacturer, administration with a light meal increased the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of a single 400 mg dose of atazanavir by 57% and 70%, respectively, relative to the fasting state. Administration with a high-fat meal resulted in a mean increase of 35% in atazanavir AUC and no change in Cmax compared to fasting. The coefficient of variation of AUC and Cmax decreased by approximately one-half when given with either a light or high-fat meal compared to the fasting state.

MANAGEMENT: To ensure maximal oral absorption, atazanavir should be administered with or immediately after a meal.

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.
