Interactions between your drugs

Major

atazanavir vilazodone

Applies to: atazanavir / cobicistat and Viibryd (vilazodone)

ADJUST DOSE: Coadministration with inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 may increase the plasma concentrations of vilazodone, which is primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. According to the product labeling, concomitant use of vilazodone with potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors such as ketoconazole can increase vilazodone plasma concentrations by approximately 50%.

MANAGEMENT: The maintenance dosage of vilazodone should be reduced to 20 mg/day when used with potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors.

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.

vilazodone food

Applies to: Viibryd (vilazodone)

GENERALLY AVOID: Alcohol may potentiate some of the pharmacologic effects of vilazodone. Use in combination may result in additive central nervous system depression and/or impairment of judgment, thinking, and psychomotor skills.

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food enhances the oral bioavailability of vilazodone. According to the product labeling, vilazodone blood concentrations in the fasted state can be decreased by approximately 50% compared to the fed state, which may result in diminished effectiveness in some patients. The absolute bioavailability of vilazodone is 72% with food. In study subjects, administration with food (high-fat or light meal) increased vilazodone peak plasma concentration (Cmax) by approximately 147% to 160% and systemic exposure (AUC) by approximately 64% to 85%.

MANAGEMENT: Patients receiving vilazodone should be advised to avoid consumption of alcohol. Ambulatory patients should be counseled to avoid hazardous activities requiring complete mental alertness and motor coordination until they know how vilazodone affects them, and to notify their physician if they experience excessive or prolonged CNS effects that interfere with their normal activities. Vilazodone should be taken with food. Administration without food may result in inadequate drug concentrations and diminished effectiveness.

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.
