Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

lurasidone maribavir

Applies to: Latuda (lurasidone) and maribavir

Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.

MONITOR: Coadministration with inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 may increase the plasma concentrations of lurasidone and its active metabolite, both of which are primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. When a single 10 mg dose of lurasidone was administered with the potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor ketoconazole (400 mg/day for 5 days), lurasidone peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 6.9- and 9.0-fold, respectively, compared to administration alone. The AUC of lurasidone's active metabolite increased by 6-fold. Another potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, posaconazole, has been reported to increase lurasidone AUC by approximately 4.5-fold. A persistent effect of posaconazole on lurasidone exposure was observed up to 2 to 3 weeks following discontinuation of posaconazole. When a single 20 mg dose of lurasidone was administered with the moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitor diltiazem (extended release formulation 240 mg/day for 5 days), lurasidone Cmax and AUC increased by 2.1- and 2.2-fold, respectively, while the AUC of the active metabolite increased by 2.4-fold. The use of an immediate release formulation of diltiazem could potentially result in a greater magnitude of interaction, although this was not studied. Data are not available for other, less potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors.

MANAGEMENT: Pharmacologic response to lurasidone should be monitored more closely whenever a CYP450 3A4 inhibitor is added to or withdrawn from therapy, and the lurasidone dosage adjusted as necessary. Patients should be monitored for potentially increased adverse effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth, increased appetite, weight gain, extrapyramidal symptoms, tardive dyskinesia, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, hyperprolactinemia (galactorrhea, amenorrhea, gynecomastia), orthostatic hypotension, cognitive and motor impairment, seizures, dysphagia, and heat-related illnesses due to disruption of body temperature regulation.

Drug and food interactions

Major

lurasidone food

Applies to: Latuda (lurasidone)

Avoid consuming grapefruit or grapefruit juice during treatment with lurasidone, as it may increase blood levels of the medication. This can increase the risk of side effects such as Parkinson-like symptoms, abnormal muscle movements, seizures, high blood sugar, diabetes, high cholesterol, weight gain, sex hormone irregularities, and heat-related disorders such as heat intolerance or heat stroke. In addition, you may be more likely to experience side effects associated with low blood pressure such as dizziness, lightheadedness, headache, flushing, fainting, and heart palpitations. You should also avoid the use of alcohol while being treated with lurasidone. Alcohol can increase the nervous system and blood-pressure lowering effects of lurasidone. You may experience increased drowsiness, dizziness, difficulty concentrating, and impairment in thinking and judgment. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions or concerns. Lurasidone should be taken with food consisting of at least 350 calories. Avoid driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medication affects you, and use caution when getting up from a sitting or lying position.

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.
