- voriconazole
Interactions between your drugs
clorazepate voriconazole
Applies to: Tranxene T-Tab (clorazepate) and voriconazole
MONITOR: Coadministration with voriconazole may increase the plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of CYP450 2C19, 2C9, and/or 3A4. The mechanism is decreased clearance due to inhibition of those isoenzymes by voriconazole. Increased plasma levels and/or pharmacologic effects of drugs such as cyclosporine, sirolimus, tacrolimus (3A4 substrates), and warfarin (2C9 substrate) have been reported during coadministration with voriconazole.
MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if voriconazole must be used concomitantly with medications that undergo metabolism by CYP450 2C19, 2C9 and/or 3A4, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic range. Dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring may be appropriate for some drugs whenever voriconazole is added to or withdrawn from therapy. The manufacturer specifically recommends that a dosage reduction be considered for benzodiazepines, statins, long-acting opiates, and vinca alkaloids that are metabolized by the affected isoenzymes when used with voriconazole.

Drug and food interactions
clorazepate food
Applies to: Tranxene T-Tab (clorazepate)
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.

voriconazole food
Applies to: 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.
