MONITOR: Coadministration with lomitapide may increase the plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of P-glycoprotein. The proposed mechanism is decreased clearance in the intestine and/or liver due to inhibition of P-glycoprotein-mediated drug efflux by lomitapide.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if lomitapide must be used concurrently with medications that are substrates of the P-glycoprotein efflux transporter, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic range. Dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring may be appropriate for some drugs whenever lomitapide is added to or withdrawn from therapy.
