Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

zafirlukast bosentan

Applies to: zafirlukast and bosentan

MONITOR: Coadministration with bosentan may decrease the plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of the CYP450 2C9 and/or 3A4 isoenzymes. The mechanism is accelerated clearance due to induction of those isoenzymes by bosentan.

MANAGEMENT: When drugs that are known substrates of CYP450 2C9 and/or 3A4 are coadministered with bosentan, the possibility of a diminished therapeutic response to those drugs should be considered. Dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring may be appropriate for some drugs, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic range, whenever bosentan is added to or withdrawn from therapy.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

zafirlukast food

Applies to: zafirlukast

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food may reduce the oral absorption and bioavailability of zafirlukast. In two separate studies, one using a high-fat and the other a high-protein meal, administration of zafirlukast with food reduced the mean bioavailability by approximately 40%.

MANAGEMENT: To ensure maximal oral absorption, zafirlukast should be administered at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after meals.

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.
