Relevance: 10.10.2022 Reviewer: Shkutko P.M., M.D., in

In the database of official manuals used in the service creation an interaction registered by statistical results of studies was found, which can either lead to negative consequences for the patient health or strengthen a mutual positive effect. A doctor should be consulted to address the issue of joint drug administration.

Consumer:

Using cobicistat together with carBAMazepine is not recommended. Combining these medications may decrease the blood levels of cobicistat, which may reduce its effectiveness in treating HIV infection. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

Professional:

CONTRAINDICATED: Coadministration with potent inducers of CYP450 3A4 may significantly decrease the plasma concentrations of cobicistat, which is primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. In a study of 12 healthy volunteers, coadministration of the potent CYP450 3A4 inducer carbamazepine (200 mg twice daily) with cobicistat-elvitegravir (150 mg-150 mg once a day) reduced the cobicistat systemic exposure (AUC) and peak plasma concentration (Cmax) by 84% and 72%, respectively, and the elvitegravir AUC and Cmax by 69% and 45%, respectively. In addition, the AUC and Cmax of carbamazepine increased by 43% and 40%, respectively, due to inhibition of the CYP450 3A4-mediated metabolism by cobicistat.

MANAGEMENT: Given the risk of reduced viral susceptibility and resistance development associated with subtherapeutic drug levels, concomitant use of antiretroviral regimens containing cobicistat with potent CYP450 3A4 inducers is considered contraindicated.
