Professional:GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with potent inducers of CYP450 3A4 may significantly decrease the plasma concentrations of suvorexant, which is primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. According to the product labeling, suvorexant peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) decreased by approximately 70% and 90%, respectively, when coadministered with the potent CYP450 3A4 inducer rifampin (600 mg).
MANAGEMENT: Concomitant use of suvorexant with potent CYP450 3A4 inducers should generally be avoided due to the potential for reduced efficacy.
