Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

nelfinavir levobupivacaine

Applies to: emtricitabine / nelfinavir / tenofovir and levobupivacaine

MONITOR: Coadministration with inhibitors of CYP450 1A2 and/or 3A4 may increase the plasma concentrations of levobupivacaine, which is primarily metabolized by these isoenzymes. Although no clinical studies have been conducted, the possibility of prolonged and/or increased pharmacologic effects of levobupivacaine should be considered.

MANAGEMENT: Caution may be advisable if levobupivacaine is administered to patients receiving inhibitors of CYP450 1A2 (e.g., quinolones, deferasirox, mexiletine, propafenone, ticlopidine, zileuton) or CYP450 3A4 (e.g., azole antifungals, macrolide antibiotics, protease inhibitors, kinase inhibitors, aprepitant, conivaptan, cyclosporine, delavirdine, diltiazem, nefazodone, verapamil). Particular caution and dosage adjustment of levobupivacaine may be warranted during concomitant use of both a CYP450 1A2 inhibitor and a CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, or a drug that inhibits both isoenzymes (e.g., fluvoxamine). Patients should be monitored for early signs and symptoms of central nervous system toxicity such as dizziness, drowsiness, lightheadedness, anxiety, restlessness, incoherent speech, tremors, twitching, numbness and tingling of the mouth and lips, metallic taste, tinnitus, and blurred vision, as well as more serious reactions including convulsions, hypotension, arrhythmias, and cardiorespiratory depression.

Drug and food interactions

Minor

tenofovir food

Applies to: emtricitabine / nelfinavir / tenofovir

Food enhances the oral absorption and bioavailability of tenofovir, the active entity of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. According to the product labeling, administration of the drug following a high-fat meal increased the mean peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of tenofovir by approximately 14% and 40%, respectively, compared to administration in the fasting state. However, administration with a light meal did not significantly affect the pharmacokinetics of tenofovir compared to administration in the fasting state. Food delays the time to reach tenofovir Cmax by approximately 1 hour. Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate may be administered without regard to meals.

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.
