Interactions between your drugs

Major

cobicistat vorapaxar

Applies to: Prezcobix (cobicistat / darunavir) and vorapaxar

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with potent inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 may significantly increase the plasma concentrations of vorapaxar, which is a substrate of the isoenzyme. When vorapaxar was coadministered with ketoconazole 400 mg, mean vorapaxar peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by nearly 2-fold.

MANAGEMENT: Concomitant use of vorapaxar with potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors should generally be avoided. Some authorities recommend avoiding concomitant use of vorapaxar during and for 2 weeks after treatment with itraconazole.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

darunavir food

Applies to: Prezcobix (cobicistat / darunavir)

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food enhances the absorption and oral bioavailability of darunavir administered in combination with low-dose ritonavir. The mechanism is unknown. When administered with food, the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of darunavir were approximately 30% higher than when administered in the fasting state. Darunavir exposure was similar for the range of meals studied. The total caloric content of the various meals evaluated ranged from 240 Kcal (12 grams fat) to 928 Kcal (56 grams fat).

MANAGEMENT: To ensure maximal oral absorption, darunavir coadministered with ritonavir should be taken with food. The type of food is not important.

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.
