Contact your doctor if your condition changes or you experience increased side effects. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs.

Professional:

MONITOR: Coadministration with isavuconazonium sulfate (prodrug of isavuconazole) may increase the bioavailability of mycophenolic acid. The proposed mechanism is isavuconazole inhibition of the UGT-mediated metabolism of mycophenolic acid. When a single 1 gram dose of mycophenolate mofetil was administered to healthy volunteers following multiple dosing of isavuconazonium sulfate, mycophenolic acid systemic exposure (AUC) increased by nearly 40%.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when mycophenolic acid is prescribed with isavuconazonium sulfate. Clinical and laboratory monitoring are recommended following the addition or withdrawal of isavuconazonium sulfate, and the mycophenolic acid dosage adjusted as necessary.
