Interactions between your drugs

Major

voriconazole silodosin

Applies to: Vfend (voriconazole) and silodosin

CONTRAINDICATED: Coadministration with potent inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 may significantly increase the plasma concentrations of silodosin, which is primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. Severe hypotension and priapism may occur. In pharmacokinetic studies, administration of a single 8 mg dose of silodosin with the potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor ketoconazole 400 mg/day for 4 days resulted in a 3.8-fold increase in silodosin peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and 3.2-fold increase in systemic exposure (AUC). Coadministration of a single 4 mg dose of silodosin with ketoconazole 200 mg/day for 4 days resulted in 3.7- and 2.9-fold increases in silodosin Cmax and AUC, respectively.

MANAGEMENT: Concomitant use of silodosin with potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors is considered contraindicated. Some authorities recommend avoiding concomitant use of silodosin during and for 2 weeks after treatment with itraconazole.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

voriconazole food

Applies to: Vfend (voriconazole)

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food reduces the oral absorption and bioavailability of voriconazole. According to the product labeling, administration of multiple doses of voriconazole with high-fat meals decreased the mean peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) by 34% and 24%, respectively, when the drug is administered as a tablet, and by 58% and 37%, respectively, when administered as the oral suspension.

MANAGEMENT: To ensure maximal oral absorption, voriconazole tablets and oral suspension should be taken at least one hour before or after a meal.

Switch to consumer interaction data

Moderate

silodosin food

Applies to: silodosin

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food may reduce the oral bioavailability of silodosin. The effect of a moderate-fat, moderate-calorie meal on silodosin pharmacokinetics was variable and decreased silodosin maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) by approximately 18% to 43% and systemic exposure (AUC) by 4% to 49% across three different studies. The maximum effect of food (i.e., coadministration with a high-fat, high-calorie meal) on the pharmacokinetics of silodosin was not evaluated. Safety and efficacy clinical trials for silodosin were always conducted in the presence of food intake.

MANAGEMENT: Patients should be instructed to take silodosin with a meal to reduce the risk of adverse events.

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.
