ritonavir cilostazol

Applies to: ombitasvir / paritaprevir / ritonavir and cilostazol

ADJUST DOSE: Coadministration with inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 and/or 2C19 may increase the plasma concentrations of cilostazol and or its pharmacologically active metabolites, which are substrates of these isoenzymes. The possibility of prolonged and/or increased pharmacologic effects of cilostazol should be considered. In pharmacokinetic studies, pretreatment with a 400 mg priming dose of ketoconazole (a potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor) one day prior to coadministration of single doses of ketoconazole 400 mg and cilostazol 100 mg resulted in a 94% increase in cilostazol peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and a 117% increase in cilostazol systemic exposure (AUC). Coadministration of the less potent inhibitor erythromycin (500 mg every 8 hours) with a single 100 mg dose of cilostazol resulted in a 47% and 73% increase in cilostazol Cmax and AUC, respectively, while AUC of 4-trans-hydroxy-cilostazol (an active metabolite with 1/5 the pharmacologic activity) increased by 141% as a result of the inhibition of cilostazol metabolism via CYP450 3A4. Coadministration with 180 mg of diltiazem, a moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, decreased cilostazol clearance by 30% and increased its Cmax by 30% and AUC by 40%. In contrast, cilostazol metabolism was not significantly affected when coadministered with omeprazole, a potent CYP450 2C19 inhibitor, but the systemic exposure to 3,4-dehydro-cilostazol (the most active metabolite of cilostazol) was increased by 69%.

MANAGEMENT: A 50% dosage reduction of cilostazol (i.e., 50 mg twice a day) should be considered when used with potent or moderate CYP450 3A4 and/or 2C19 inhibitors. Close clinical and laboratory monitoring is advised whenever the inhibitor is added to or withdrawn from therapy, and the cilostazol dosage adjusted as necessary. Patients should be advised to contact their physician if they experience adverse effects of cilostazol such as dizziness, nausea, diarrhea, bleeding, or irregular heartbeat.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

ritonavir food

Applies to: ombitasvir / paritaprevir / ritonavir

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Administration with food may modestly affect the bioavailability of ritonavir from the various available formulations. When the oral solution was given under nonfasting conditions, peak ritonavir concentrations decreased 23% and the extent of absorption decreased 7% relative to fasting conditions. Dilution of the oral solution (within one hour of dosing) with 240 mL of chocolate milk or a nutritional supplement (Advera or Ensure) did not significantly affect the extent and rate of ritonavir absorption. When a single 100 mg dose of the tablet was administered with a high-fat meal (907 kcal; 52% fat, 15% protein, 33% carbohydrates), approximately 20% decreases in mean peak concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) were observed relative to administration after fasting. Similar decreases in Cmax and AUC were reported when the tablet was administered with a moderate-fat meal. In contrast, the extent of absorption of ritonavir from the soft gelatin capsule formulation was 13% higher when administered with a meal (615 KCal; 14.5% fat, 9% protein, and 76% carbohydrate) relative to fasting.

MANAGEMENT: Ritonavir should be taken with meals to enhance gastrointestinal tolerability.

cilostazol food

Applies to: cilostazol

GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of cilostazol. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruits. The extent and clinical significance are unknown. Moreover, pharmacokinetic alterations associated with interactions involving grapefruit juice are often subject to a high degree of interpatient variability.

MANAGEMENT: Until more information is available, the manufacturer recommends avoiding consumption of grapefruit juice during cilostazol therapy. Orange juice is not expected to interact with cilostazol.

paritaprevir food

Applies to: ombitasvir / paritaprevir / ritonavir

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food enhances the oral bioavailability of ombitasvir, paritaprevir, ritonavir, and dasabuvir. Relative to fasting conditions, administration of ombitasvir, paritaprevir, ritonavir, and dasabuvir with a moderate-fat meal (approximately 600 Kcal; 20% to 30% calories from fat) increased the mean systemic exposure (AUC) by 82%, 211%, 49%, and 30%, respectively. Relative to fasting conditions, administration of ombitasvir, paritaprevir, ritonavir, and dasabuvir with a high-fat meal (approximately 900 Kcal; with 60% calories from fat) increased the mean AUC by 76%, 180%, 44%, and 22%, respectively.

MANAGEMENT: Ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir plus dasabuvir should always be administered with a meal. The fat or calorie content does not matter.

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.
