Drug interactions
Major drug interactions
Major:
itraconazole enfortumab vedotin
Applies to: Sporanox (itraconazole) and enfortumab vedotin
Itraconazole may increase the blood levels of the active medication in enfortumab vedotin. This may increase the risk and/or severity of side effects such as nausea; vomiting; diarrhea; loss of appetite; tingling, numbness or burning in the hands and feet; muscle weakness; hyperglycemia (high blood sugar); skin reactions (rash, itching, hair loss); lung problems (trouble breathing, shortness of breath, cough); eye disorders (dry eyes, inflammation of the cornea, blurred vision); and low platelet and white blood cell counts. You may also be more likely to develop bleeding problems or infections due to low blood cell counts. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact, or you may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring to safely use 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:
itraconazole Food/Lifestyle
Applies to: Sporanox (itraconazole)
Food increases the absorption of itraconazole capsules but decreases the absorption of itraconazole oral solution. Capsules should be taken immediately after a full meal and the solution be taken on an empty stomach to ensure best results.
Disease interactions
15 potential interactions Applies to: 13 conditions, including COPD, Peripheral Neuropathy, Arrhythmia, Heart Disease, and Diabetes Mellitus.
Achlorhydria
Moderate:
Sporanox
The itraconazole in Sporanox has a moderate potential interaction with Achlorhydria.
Itraconazole 100-mg capsules should be administered after a full meal. Under fasted conditions, absorption of itraconazole from the 100-mg capsule formulation was diminished with decreased gastric acidity. Studies conducted under fasted conditions showed that taking the 100-mg capsule formulation with 8 ounces of a non-diet cola beverage enhanced absorption of itraconazole in AIDS patients with relative or absolute achlorhydria; this increase relative to the effects of a full meal is unknown.
Arrhythmia
Moderate:
Sporanox
The itraconazole in Sporanox 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.
COPD
Major:
Sporanox
The itraconazole in Sporanox has a major potential interaction with COPD.
Itraconazole may possess a dose-related negative inotropic effect. Transient, asymptomatic decreases in left ventricular ejection fraction were observed with IV administration in healthy volunteers; these resolved before the next infusion. Additionally, cases of congestive heart failure (CHF), peripheral edema, and pulmonary edema have been reported during postmarketing experience in patients treated for onychomycosis and/or systemic fungal infections. Itraconazole should not be used to treat onychomycosis in patients with evidence of ventricular dysfunction such as CHF or history of CHF; itraconazole should not be used for other indications in such patients unless the benefit clearly outweighs the risk. The risks and benefits of itraconazole therapy should be reviewed carefully in patients with risk factors for CHF (including cardiac disease [e.g., ischemic and valvular disease], significant pulmonary disease [e.g., chronic obstructive pulmonary disease], renal failure and other edematous disorders). Patients with risk factors for CHF should be advised of the signs/symptoms of CHF, treated with caution, and monitored for signs/symptoms of CHF during therapy.
Cystic Fibrosis
Moderate:
Sporanox
The itraconazole in Sporanox has a moderate potential interaction with Cystic Fibrosis.
In a study using itraconazole oral solution in cystic fibrosis patients, therapeutic drug levels varied and were not reached in some patients. Alternative therapy should be considered for patients who do not respond to itraconazole oral solution or itraconazole 100-mg capsules.
Diabetes Mellitus
Moderate:
enfortumab vedotin
Enfortumab vedotin has a moderate potential interaction with Diabetes Mellitus.
Hyperglycemia occurred in patients treated with enfortumab vedotin, including death, and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in those with and without preexisting-existing diabetes mellitus. The incidence of Grade 3-4 hyperglycemia increased consistently in patients with higher body mass index and in patients with higher baseline A1C. Closely monitor blood glucose levels in patients with, or at risk for, diabetes mellitus or hyperglycemia. If blood glucose is elevated (>250 mg/dL), withhold treatment.
Fluid Retention
Major:
Sporanox
The itraconazole in Sporanox has a major potential interaction with Fluid Retention.
Itraconazole may possess a dose-related negative inotropic effect. Transient, asymptomatic decreases in left ventricular ejection fraction were observed with IV administration in healthy volunteers; these resolved before the next infusion. Additionally, cases of congestive heart failure (CHF), peripheral edema, and pulmonary edema have been reported during postmarketing experience in patients treated for onychomycosis and/or systemic fungal infections. Itraconazole should not be used to treat onychomycosis in patients with evidence of ventricular dysfunction such as CHF or history of CHF; itraconazole should not be used for other indications in such patients unless the benefit clearly outweighs the risk. The risks and benefits of itraconazole therapy should be reviewed carefully in patients with risk factors for CHF (including cardiac disease [e.g., ischemic and valvular disease], significant pulmonary disease [e.g., chronic obstructive pulmonary disease], renal failure and other edematous disorders). Patients with risk factors for CHF should be advised of the signs/symptoms of CHF, treated with caution, and monitored for signs/symptoms of CHF during therapy.
Heart Disease
Major:
Sporanox
The itraconazole in Sporanox has a major potential interaction with Heart Disease.
Itraconazole may possess a dose-related negative inotropic effect. Transient, asymptomatic decreases in left ventricular ejection fraction were observed with IV administration in healthy volunteers; these resolved before the next infusion. Additionally, cases of congestive heart failure (CHF), peripheral edema, and pulmonary edema have been reported during postmarketing experience in patients treated for onychomycosis and/or systemic fungal infections. Itraconazole should not be used to treat onychomycosis in patients with evidence of ventricular dysfunction such as CHF or history of CHF; itraconazole should not be used for other indications in such patients unless the benefit clearly outweighs the risk.

Immunodeficiency
Moderate:
Sporanox
The itraconazole in Sporanox has a moderate potential interaction with Immunodeficiency.
The oral bioavailability of itraconazole 100-mg capsules may be decreased in some immunocompromised patients (e.g., neutropenic patients, AIDS patients, organ transplant recipients); in addition, since hypochlorhydria has been reported in HIV-infected patients, the absorption of itraconazole may be reduced in these patients. The dose of itraconazole 100-mg capsules should be adjusted based on the clinical response of such patients.
Itraconazole oral solution is not recommended for initial treatment in severely neutropenic patients at immediate risk of systemic candidiasis.
Liver Disease
Major:
enfortumab vedotin
Enfortumab vedotin has a major potential interaction with Liver Disease.
Avoid the use of enfortumab vedotin in patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment as it has not been studied in these patients. No adjustment in the starting dose is required when treating patients with mild hepatic impairment.
Major:
Sporanox
The itraconazole in Sporanox has a major potential interaction with Liver Disease.
Limited data are available on the use of oral itraconazole in patients with liver dysfunction. Itraconazole has been associated with rare cases of serious hepatotoxicity (including liver failure and death). Caution is recommended when this drug is used in patients with liver dysfunction; such patients should be carefully monitored during therapy. Treatment with itraconazole is strongly discouraged in patients with elevated or abnormal liver enzymes, with active liver disease, or who had liver toxicity with other drugs unless the situation is serious or life-threatening and the expected benefit exceeds the risk. Liver function monitoring is recommended for patients with preexisting hepatic function abnormalities or those who had liver toxicity with other drugs.
