Interactions between your drugs

Major

nafcillin lenacapavir

Applies to: nafcillin and lenacapavir

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with drugs that are combined P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and moderate inducers of CYP450 3A4 or sole moderate inducers of CYP450 3A4 may decrease the plasma concentrations of lenacapavir and result in a potential loss of virologic response. The proposed mechanism is increased clearance due to induction of the isoenzyme CYP450 3A4, which is partly responsible for the metabolism of lenacapavir and induction of the P-gp transporter of which lenacapavir is a substrate. In pharmacokinetic studies conducted in fasted subjects without HIV, coadministration of a single oral dose of lenacapavir 300 mg with the combined P-gp and moderate inducer of CYP450 3A4 efavirenz 600 mg once daily decreased the systemic exposure (AUC) and peak plasma concentration (Cmax) of lenacapavir by approximately 56% and 36%, respectively.

MANAGEMENT: Given the risk of reduced viral susceptibility and resistance development associated with subtherapeutic antiviral drug levels, concomitant use of lenacapavir with drugs that are combined P-gp and moderate inducers of CYP450 3A4 or sole moderate inducers of CYP450 3A4 should generally be avoided.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

nafcillin food

Applies to: nafcillin

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Certain penicillins may exhibit reduced gastrointestinal absorption in the presence of food. The therapeutic effect of the antimicrobial may be reduced.

MANAGEMENT: The interacting penicillin should be administered one hour before or two hours after meals. Penicillin V and amoxicillin are not affected by food and may be given without regard to meals.

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.
