Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

nefazodone fostemsavir

Applies to: nefazodone and fostemsavir

MONITOR: Coadministration with potent inhibitors of CYP450 3A4, P-glycoprotein (P-gp), and/or breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) may increase the plasma concentrations of temsavir, the active moiety of fostemsavir. According to the prescribing information, temsavir is a substrate of CYP450 3A4, esterases, P-gp, and BCRP. In pharmacokinetic studies, mean temsavir peak plasma concentration (Cmax) increased by approximately 50% to 80% and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by approximately 35% to 100% when fostemsavir 600 mg twice daily was administered with various potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors (atazanavir/ritonavir 300 mg/100 mg once daily; darunavir/ritonavir 600 mg/100 mg twice daily; darunavir/ritonavir/etravirine 600 mg/100 mg/200 mg twice daily; ritonavir 100 mg once daily; cobicistat 150 mg once daily; darunavir/cobicistat 800 mg/150 mg once daily). These changes are not considered clinically relevant. However, increased temsavir exposure may increase the risk of QT prolongation.

MANAGEMENT: No dosage adjustments are recommended for fostemsavir when used with potent CYP450 3A4, P-gp, and/or BCRP inhibitors. It may be advisable to monitor patients for increased adverse effects such as QT prolongation during coadministration, particularly in the elderly and patients with risk factors for torsade de pointes.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

nefazodone food

Applies to: nefazodone

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.
