Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

etravirine pimavanserin

Applies to: etravirine and pimavanserin

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with potent or moderate inducers of CYP450 3A4 may decrease the plasma concentrations of pimavanserin, which is primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. In a drug interaction study designed to measure pre- and post-pimavanserin levels following rifampin administration (a potent CYP450 3A4 inducer), Cmax and AUC were decreased by 71% and 91%, respectively, compared to pre-rifampin plasma concentrations. A physiologically based pharmacokinetic simulation with a moderate CYP450 3A4 inducer (efavirenz) predicted Cmax and AUC of pimavanserin will be decreased by approximately 60% and 70%, respectively.

MANAGEMENT: Coadministration of potent or moderate CYP450 3A4 inducers with pimavanserin should be avoided.

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.
