Interactions between your drugs

Major

atazanavir lenacapavir

Applies to: atazanavir and lenacapavir

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with combined uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A1, P-glycoprotein (P-gp), and potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors may significantly increase the plasma concentrations of lenacapavir. Lenacapavir is a substrate of CYP450 3A, P-gp, and UGT1A1. In pharmacokinetic studies conducted in fasted subjects without HIV, coadministration of a single oral dose of lenacapavir 300 mg with atazanavir/cobicistat 300 mg/150 mg once daily, a potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor and inhibitor of P-gp and UGT1A1, increased systemic exposure (AUC) and peak plasma concentration (Cmax) of lenacapavir by approximately 4.2-fold and 6.6-fold, respectively. No clinically significant drug interactions with lenacapavir have been observed with potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors such as voriconazole or potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors and P-gp inhibitors such as cobicistat.

MANAGEMENT: Concomitant use of lenacapavir with combined UGT1A1, P-gp, and potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors such as atazanavir (in combination with cobicistat or ritonavir) should generally be avoided.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

atazanavir food

Applies to: atazanavir

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.
