Interactions between your drugs

Minor

nefazodone fosamprenavir

Applies to: Serzone (nefazodone) and Telzir (fosamprenavir)

Drugs that act as both substrate and inhibitor of the CYP450 3A4 isoenzyme may alter the plasma concentration of amprenavir. Amprenavir may increase blood levels of the CYP450 3A4 inhibitor. The extent of the alterations in serum drug levels is unknown and the clinical significance is uncertain. When concomitant therapy is required, the patient should be monitored for adverse effects of both drugs and dose adjustments made when indicated.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

nefazodone food

Applies to: Serzone (nefazodone)

GENERALLY AVOID: Alcohol may potentiate some of the pharmacologic effects of CNS-active agents. Use in combination may result in additive central nervous system depression and/or impairment of judgment, thinking, and psychomotor skills.

MANAGEMENT: Patients receiving CNS-active agents should be warned of this interaction and advised to avoid or limit consumption of alcohol. Ambulatory patients should be counseled to avoid hazardous activities requiring complete mental alertness and motor coordination until they know how these agents affect them, and to notify their physician if they experience excessive or prolonged CNS effects that interfere with their normal activities.

fosamprenavir food

Applies to: Telzir (fosamprenavir)

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food may reduce the systemic bioavailability of amprenavir from fosamprenavir oral suspension. The mechanism of interaction has not been described. According to the product labeling, administration of fosamprenavir oral suspension (1400 mg single dose) with a high-fat meal (967 kcal, 67 g fat, 33 g protein, 58 g carbohydrate) reduced amprenavir peak plasma concentration (Cmax) by 46% and systemic exposure (AUC) by 28% compared to administration in a fasted state. The time to reach peak plasma level (Tmax) was delayed by 0.72 hours. In contrast, the same high-fat meal did not affect the pharmacokinetics of amprenavir from fosamprenavir tablets.

MANAGEMENT: Fosamprenavir suspension should be administered on an empty stomach in adults, but with food in pediatric patients to aid palatability and compliance. If emesis occurs within 30 minutes after dosing the suspension, the dose should be repeated. Fosamprenavir tablets may be taken with or without food.

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.
