Minor

dapsone topical etravirine

Applies to: dapsone / niacinamide / spironolactone topical and etravirine

Theoretically, coadministration of dapsone with inducers of CYP450 3A4 such as rifamycins, anticonvulsants, barbiturates, and St. John's wort may increase the formation of dapsone hydroxylamine, a metabolite associated with hemolysis. Dose-related hemolysis is the most common adverse event associated with oral dapsone in both patients with or without glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency. While clinical studies have not demonstrated evidence of clinically significant anemia in patients treated with dapsone 5% gel for acne vulgaris, an increased reticulocyte count and a decreased hemoglobin level were noted to be associated in a G6PD-deficient patient. Exposure to dapsone from the recommended topical dose is about 1% of that from a 100 mg oral dose.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

etravirine food

Applies to: etravirine

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Coadministration with food increases the oral bioavailability of etravirine. The mechanism is unknown. Compared to administration following a meal, the systemic exposure (AUC) to etravirine was decreased by about 50% when the drug was administered under fasting conditions. The types of meal studied (ranging from 345 kilocalories containing 17 grams fat to 1160 kilocalories containing 70 grams fat) did not appear to make a difference with respect to impact on etravirine bioavailability.

MANAGEMENT: Etravirine should always be administered following a meal.

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.
