Interactions between your drugs
rosuvastatin eslicarbazepine
Applies to: rosuvastatin, eslicarbazepine
MONITOR: Coadministration with eslicarbazepine acetate may decrease the plasma concentrations of rosuvastatin. The exact mechanism of interaction has not been established, but may involve eslicarbazepine induction of the metabolism of rosuvastatin via UDP-glucuronyl transferase. In healthy study subjects, rosuvastatin systemic exposure (AUC) decreased by an average of 36% to 39% when coadministered with eslicarbazepine acetate 1200 mg once daily.
MANAGEMENT: The potential for diminished therapeutic effects of rosuvastatin should be considered when prescribed in combination with eslicarbazepine acetate. A dosage increase for rosuvastatin may be required based on efficacy and tolerability.
