Interactions between your drugs

Major

pravastatin glecaprevir

Applies to: pravastatin and Mavyret (glecaprevir / pibrentasvir)

ADJUST DOSE: Coadministration with glecaprevir-pibrentasvir may significantly increase the plasma concentrations of pravastatin. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1B1-mediated hepatic uptake of pravastatin by glecaprevir and pibrentasvir. When pravastatin 10 mg once daily was administered with glecaprevir-pibrentasvir 400 mg-120 mg once daily to 12 study subjects, pravastatin peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by approximately 2.2- and 2.3-fold, respectively. High levels of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitory activity in plasma may be associated with an increased risk of musculoskeletal toxicity. Myopathy manifested as muscle pain and/or weakness associated with grossly elevated creatine kinase exceeding ten times the upper limit of normal has been reported occasionally. Rhabdomyolysis has also occurred rarely, which may be accompanied by acute renal failure secondary to myoglobinuria and may result in death.

MANAGEMENT: The dosage of pravastatin should be reduced by 50% when coadministered with glecaprevir-pibrentasvir.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

glecaprevir food

Applies to: Mavyret (glecaprevir / pibrentasvir)

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food enhances the oral bioavailability of glecaprevir and pibrentasvir. Relative to fasting conditions, mean glecaprevir systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 83% to 163% and mean pibrentasvir AUC increased by 40% to 53% when administered with moderate to high fat meals.

MANAGEMENT: Glecaprevir-pibrentasvir should be administered with food.

MONITOR: Concomitant use of statin medication with substantial quantities of alcohol may increase the risk of hepatic injury. Transient increases in serum transaminases have been reported with statin use and while these increases generally resolve or improve with continued therapy or a brief interruption in therapy, there have been rare postmarketing reports of fatal and non-fatal hepatic failure in patients taking statins. Patients who consume substantial quantities of alcohol and/or have a history of liver disease may be at increased risk for hepatic injury. Active liver disease or unexplained transaminase elevations are contraindications to statin use.

MANAGEMENT: Patients should be counseled to avoid substantial quantities of alcohol in combination with statin medications and clinicians should be aware of the increased risk for hepatotoxicity in these patients.

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.
