Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

calcium carbonate atazanavir

Applies to: Oysco 500 with D (calcium / vitamin d) and atazanavir / cobicistat

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Concurrent administration of antacids or other agents with acid-neutralizing effects may decrease the oral bioavailability of atazanavir and substantially reduce its concentrations in plasma. Atazanavir solubility decreases with increasing pH, thus reduction in gastric acidity may interfere with dissolution of the drug. Subtherapeutic antiretroviral drug levels may lead to reduced viral susceptibility and development of resistance.

MANAGEMENT: Atazanavir should be administered 2 hours before or 1 hour after antacids or other oral agents with acid-neutralizing effects.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

calcium carbonate food

Applies to: Oysco 500 with D (calcium / vitamin d)

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Administration with food may increase the absorption of calcium. However, foods high in oxalic acid (spinach or rhubarb), or phytic acid (bran and whole grains) may decrease calcium absorption.

MANAGEMENT: Calcium may be administered with food to increase absorption. Consider withholding calcium administration for at least 2 hours before or after consuming foods high in oxalic acid or phytic acid.

Switch to consumer interaction data

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.
