Drug interactions
Moderate drug interactions
Moderate:
chlorotrianisene voriconazole
Applies to: chlorotrianisene and voriconazole
Using voriconazole and chlorotrianisene together may alter the levels of chlorotrianisene in your body. This combination may cause nausea, vomiting, or vaginal bleeding. If you take both medications together, tell your doctor if you have any of these symptoms. You may need a dose adjustment if you take both medications. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
Food/lifestyle interactions
Moderate food/lifestyle interactions
Moderate:
voriconazole Food/Lifestyle
Applies to: voriconazole
You may experience reduced absorption of voriconazole in the presence of food. Take voriconazole on an empty stomach 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal unless otherwise directed by your doctor. This will make it easier for your body to absorb the medication.

Disease interactions
9 potential interactions Applies to: 9 conditions, including Arrhythmia, Lactose Intolerance, Cardiomyopathy, Liver Disease, and Renal Dysfunction.
Arrhythmia
Moderate:
voriconazole
Voriconazole has a moderate potential interaction with Arrhythmia.
Some azole antifungals have been associated with prolongation of the QT interval on the ECG. Rare cases of QT prolongation and torsade de pointes have been reported during postmarketing experience; such reports usually involved seriously ill patients with multiple confounding risk factors, such as structural heart disease, electrolyte abnormalities, and concomitant medications. These drugs should be administered with caution to patients with potentially proarrhythmic conditions, such as congenital/acquired QT prolongation, cardiomyopathy (especially when heart failure is present), sinus bradycardia, and existing symptomatic arrhythmias. Concomitant use with other medications that have potential to increase the risk of cardiotoxicity should be avoided.
Bone Marrow Transplantation
Moderate:
voriconazole
Voriconazole has a moderate potential interaction with Bone Marrow Transplantation.
Patients with risk factors for acute pancreatitis (e.g., recent chemotherapy, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation) should be monitored for the development of pancreatitis during voriconazole therapy.
Cardiomyopathy
Moderate:
voriconazole
Voriconazole has a moderate potential interaction with Cardiomyopathy.

Concomitant use with other medications that have potential to increase the risk of cardiotoxicity should be avoided.
Electrolyte Abnormalities
Moderate:
voriconazole
Voriconazole has a moderate potential interaction with Electrolyte Abnormalities.
Electrolyte disturbances (such as hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, and hypocalcemia) should be monitored and corrected before and during voriconazole therapy.
Galactosemia
Moderate:
voriconazole
Voriconazole has a moderate potential interaction with Galactosemia.
Voriconazole tablets contain lactose and should not be given to patients with galactose intolerance, total lactase deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption. Voriconazole oral suspension contains sucrose.
Lactose Intolerance
Moderate:
voriconazole
Voriconazole has a moderate potential interaction with Lactose Intolerance.
Voriconazole tablets contain lactose and should not be given to patients with galactose intolerance, total lactase deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption. Voriconazole oral suspension contains sucrose.
Liver Disease
Moderate:
voriconazole
Voriconazole has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.
Serious hepatic reactions (including clinical hepatitis, cholestasis, fulminant hepatic failure [including fatalities]) have been reported infrequently during voriconazole therapy. Hepatic reactions have primarily occurred in patients with serious underlying medical conditions (mainly hematological malignancy). Serum transaminase levels and bilirubin should be measured at the start of and during voriconazole therapy, according to the manufacturer product information.
Voriconazole is primarily metabolized by the liver and has been shown to accumulate significantly in patients with impaired hepatic function. Adult patients with baseline liver function tests (ALT, AST) of up to 5 times the upper limit of normal do not require dose adjustments; however, liver function tests should continue to be monitored for further elevations. The manufacturer recommends that the maintenance dose be halved in adult patients with mild to moderate liver dysfunction/cirrhosis (Child-Pugh A and B). Voriconazole has not been studied in adult patients with severe liver dysfunction/cirrhosis (Child-Pugh C) or in patients with chronic hepatitis B or C; no dosing recommendations are available for patients with severe liver dysfunction. Voriconazole should only be used in patients with severe liver dysfunction if the benefit outweighs the potential risk. Patients with liver dysfunction must be carefully monitored for drug toxicity. Dosage adjustment has not been established in pediatric patients with liver dysfunction.
Myeloproliferative Disorders
Moderate:
voriconazole
Voriconazole has a moderate potential interaction with Myeloproliferative Disorders.

Renal Dysfunction
Moderate:
voriconazole
Voriconazole has a moderate potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.
The pharmacokinetics of voriconazole are not significantly altered by impaired renal function. However, accumulation of the IV vehicle, sulfobutyl ether beta-cyclodextrin sodium (SBECD), occurs in patients with moderate or severe renal dysfunction (CrCl less than 50 mL/min). The mean systemic exposure (AUC) and Cmax of SBECD were increased 4-fold and almost 50%, respectively, in moderately impaired patients compared to controls with normal renal function. The manufacturer recommends that oral voriconazole be used in patients with moderate to severe renal dysfunction, unless after assessing the benefit/risk to the patient, use of IV voriconazole is justified; serum creatinine levels should be monitored closely in these patients, and if increases occur, switching to oral voriconazole should be considered. No dosage adjustment is necessary when using oral voriconazole. Monitoring of renal function (including laboratory evaluation of serum creatinine) is recommended. Dosage adjustment has not been established in pediatric patients with renal dysfunction.
