Interactions between your drugs
nafcillin vonoprazan
Applies to: nafcillin, Voquezna Dual Pak (amoxicillin / vonoprazan)
GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with moderate inducers of CYP450 3A4 may significantly decrease the plasma concentrations of vonoprazan, which is metabolized by the isoenzyme. When coadministered with moderate CYP450 3A4 inducers, vonoprazan systemic exposure (AUC) is predicted to decrease by 50%. Reduced efficacy of vonoprazan may occur.
MANAGEMENT: According to the manufacturer, concomitant use of vonoprazan with moderate CYP450 3A4 inducers should be avoided.

This can be intentional in cases where drugs with similar actions are used together for demonstrated therapeutic benefit.
