Interactions between your drugs

Minor

boceprevir maribavir

Applies to: boceprevir and maribavir

Coadministration with inhibitors of the isoenzyme CYP450 3A4 may increase the plasma concentrations and effects of maribavir, a CYP450 3A4 substrate. When a single 400 mg dose of maribavir was administered with a single 400 mg dose of ketoconazole, a potent CYP450 3A4 and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibitor, mean maribavir peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and total systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 10% and 53%, respectively, in 19 study subjects. These changes are not considered clinically significant. No dosage adjustments are necessary when maribavir is prescribed with CYP450 3A4 inhibitors, but it may be advisable to monitor patients for maribavir-related adverse effects such as taste disturbances, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, and fatigue.

Drug and food/lifestyle interactions

Moderate

boceprevir food/lifestyle

Applies to: boceprevir

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food significantly enhances the oral bioavailability of boceprevir. When given at 800 mg three times daily with food, boceprevir exposure increased by up to 65% relative to administration in the fasting state. The bioavailability of boceprevir was similar regardless of meal type (e.g., high-fat versus low-fat) or whether taken 5 minutes prior to eating, during a meal, or immediately following completion of the meal. Therefore, boceprevir may be taken without regard to either meal type or timing of the meal.

MANAGEMENT: To ensure maximal oral absorption, boceprevir should be administered with a meal or light snack.

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.
