ziprasidone fosaprepitant

Applies to: ziprasidone and fosaprepitant

Coadministration with inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 may only modestly increase the plasma concentrations of ziprasidone, as less than 1/3 of ziprasidone metabolic clearance occurs via oxidation mediated by CYP450 3A4. In 14 healthy subjects, coadministration with the potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor ketoconazole (400 mg orally once a day for 5 days) increased the mean peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of ziprasidone (40 mg single oral dose) by approximately 1/3 compared to placebo. These changes, although statistically significant, were not considered clinically important. There were also no serious adverse events, laboratory or ECG abnormalities, or clinically significant alterations in vital signs throughout the study. Likewise, in 10 healthy subjects, the nonspecific CYP450 inhibitor cimetidine (800 mg orally once a day for 3 days) increased the AUC of ziprasidone (40 mg single oral dose) by just 6% compared to when ziprasidone was administered alone. These findings suggest that ziprasidone dose modifications are unlikely to be necessary in patients receiving potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

ziprasidone food

Applies to: ziprasidone

GENERALLY AVOID: Alcohol may potentiate some of the pharmacologic effects of CNS-active agents. Use in combination may result in additive central nervous system depression and/or impairment of judgment, thinking, and psychomotor skills.

MANAGEMENT: Patients receiving CNS-active agents should be warned of this interaction and advised to avoid or limit consumption of alcohol. Ambulatory patients should be counseled to avoid hazardous activities requiring complete mental alertness and motor coordination until they know how these agents affect them, and to notify their physician if they experience excessive or prolonged CNS effects that interfere with their normal activities.

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.
