Minor drug interactions do not usually cause harm or require a change in therapy. However, your healthcare provider can determine if adjustments to your medications are needed.
Professional:Coadministration with inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 may increase the plasma concentrations of retapamulin, which is primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. In healthy adult males, coadministration of the potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor ketoconazole (200 mg orally twice a day) increased the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of retapamulin by 81% following topical application of retapamulin ointment 1% on abraded skin. However, dosage adjustments are not necessary due to the low systemic exposure to retapamulin following topical application.
