Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

ISOtretinoin iptacopan

Applies to: isotretinoin and iptacopan

MONITOR: Coadministration of iptacopan may increase the exposure of CYP450 2C8 substrates, which may increase the risk of adverse effects. According to in vitro studies, iptacopan has potential for time-dependent inhibition of the CYP450 2C8 isoenzyme. The interaction may be particularly important for sensitive substrates or those that demonstrate a narrow therapeutic index. However, clinical data evaluating the interaction are not available.

MANAGEMENT: Caution and clinical monitoring are advised if iptacopan is to be used in combination with substrates of CYP450 2C8, particularly sensitive substrates or those with a narrow therapeutic range. The prescribing information for the concomitant medication should also be consulted to assess the benefits versus risks of coadministration with CYP450 2C8 inhibitors and for any dosage adjustments that may be required.

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.
