Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

boceprevir sirolimus topical

Applies to: boceprevir and sirolimus topical

MONITOR: Sirolimus may be systemically absorbed following topical administration. Theoretically, coadministration with inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 may increase the systemic exposure of sirolimus, which is a substrate of the isoenzyme. Significant increases in systemic exposure have been reported when oral sirolimus was coadministered with potent and moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitors such as azole antifungal agents, macrolide antibiotics, protease inhibitors, and some calcium channel blockers. No formal studies to evaluate drug interactions with topical sirolimus have been conducted.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if topical sirolimus is prescribed with potent or moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitors. Patients should be monitored for systemic sirolimus adverse effects including immunosuppression, infection, hyperlipidemia, malignancy, and interstitial lung disease.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

boceprevir food

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.

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.
