Interactions between your drugs

Major

fosphenytoin doravirine

Applies to: fosphenytoin and doravirine

CONTRAINDICATED: Coadministration with potent inducers of CYP450 3A4 may significantly decrease the plasma concentrations of doravirine, which is primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. When a single 100 mg dose of doravirine was administered with the potent CYP450 3A4 inducer rifampin (600 mg once daily) in 10 study subjects, doravirine peak plasma concentration (Cmax), systemic exposure (AUC) and trough plasma concentration (C24hr) decreased by an average of 57%, 88% and 97%, respectively, compared to doravirine administered alone. Reduced efficacy of doravirine may occur.

MANAGEMENT: Given the risk of reduced viral susceptibility and resistance development associated with subtherapeutic antiretroviral drug levels, concomitant use of doravirine with potent CYP450 3A4 inducers is considered contraindicated. At least a 4-week cessation period is recommended prior to initiation of doravirine treatment.

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.
