maraviroc suvorexant

Applies to: maraviroc and suvorexant

MONITOR: Coadministration with inhibitors of the CYP450 3A4 isoenzyme and/or P-glycoprotein efflux transporter may increase the plasma concentrations of maraviroc, which is a substrate of both. According to the product labeling, administration of maraviroc (100 mg twice a day) with the potent CYP450 3A4/P-glycoprotein inhibitor ketoconazole (400 mg once a day) increased the mean maraviroc peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) by approximately 3.5- and 5-fold, respectively, compared to administration alone. When the same dosage of maraviroc was administered with ritonavir (100 mg twice a day), maraviroc Cmax increased by nearly 1.3-fold and AUC by 2.6-fold. An even greater increase of nearly 5-fold in Cmax and 10-fold in AUC was observed during coadministration of maraviroc and saquinavir/ritonavir (1000 mg/100 mg twice a day). At 300 mg twice a day, mean maraviroc Cmax increased by approximately 2-fold and AUC by 3.6-fold during coadministration with atazanavir (400 mg once a day). When the same dosage of maraviroc was given with atazanavir/ritonavir (300 mg/100 mg once a day), maraviroc Cmax increased by 2.7-fold and AUC increased by nearly 5-fold. During coadministration with lopinavir/ritonavir (400 mg/100 mg twice a day), maraviroc Cmax and AUC increased by 2-fold and 4-fold, respectively.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when maraviroc is used with inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 and/or P-glycoprotein. Dosage adjustment for maraviroc may be necessary if an interaction is suspected.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

suvorexant food

Applies to: suvorexant

GENERALLY AVOID: Alcohol may potentiate some of the pharmacologic effects of suvorexant. Use in combination may result in additive central nervous system depression and/or impairment of judgment, thinking, and psychomotor skills. In addition, alcohol may increase the risk of cognitive and complex behavioral changes associated with the use of hypnotics including suvorexant, such as amnesia, anxiety, hallucinations, sleep-driving, and other neuropsychiatric symptoms.

ADJUST DOSE: Grapefruit juice may significantly increase the plasma concentrations of suvorexant. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit.

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Administration with or soon after a meal may delay the gastrointestinal absorption of suvorexant. According to the product labeling, administration of suvorexant with a high-fat meal resulted in no meaningful change in peak plasma concentration (Cmax) or systemic exposure (AUC), but a delay in Tmax of approximately 1.5 hours.

MANAGEMENT: Concomitant use of suvorexant with alcohol should be avoided. Patients should be advised not to use suvorexant if they had alcohol that evening or before bed. Grapefruit juice should preferably be avoided; otherwise, the recommended dose of suvorexant is 5 mg when used with grapefruit juice and should not exceed 10 mg. Suvorexant may be taken with or without food; however, for faster sleep onset, suvorexant should not be administered with or soon after a meal.

maraviroc food

Applies to: maraviroc

Administration with food may reduce the bioavailability of maraviroc. According to the product labeling, coadministration of a 300 mg dose of maraviroc with a high-fat breakfast reduced maraviroc peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) by 33% in healthy volunteers. However, no food restrictions were used in the clinical studies that demonstrated the safety and efficacy of maraviroc. Therefore, maraviroc can be taken with or without food at the recommended dosage.

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.
