Interactions between your drugs
losartan oritavancin
Applies to: losartan and oritavancin
Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.
MONITOR: Coadministration with oritavancin may increase the plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of CYP450 2C9, and/or 2C19. The mechanism is decreased clearance due to inhibition of these isoenzymes by oritavancin. In a screening drug interaction study in 16 healthy volunteers, a single 1,200 mg dose of oritavancin increased the omeprazole-to-5-hydroxyomeprazole plasma ratio by 15% and the mean systemic exposure AUC of warfarin by 31%, indicating weak inhibition of CYP450 2C19 and CYP450 2C9, respectively.
MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when oritavancin used concomitantly with drugs that are substrates of CYP450 2C9 and/or 2C19, particularly sensitive substrates, or those with a narrow therapeutic range. Dosage adjustments as well as closer clinical and laboratory monitoring for the development of adverse effects may be appropriate for some drugs whenever oritavancin is added to or withdrawn from therapy. Individual product labeling should be consulted for further guidance.

This can cause high levels of potassium in your blood. High levels of potassium can cause weakness, irregular heartbeat, confusion, tingling of the extremities, or feelings of heaviness in the legs. Call your doctor at once if you have any of these symptoms.
In some patients grapefruits and grapefruit juice may decrease the efficacy of losartan. Grapefruits and grapefruit juice should be avoided if an interaction is suspected. Orange juice is not expected to interact.
