Relevance: 21.12.2022 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:

Ledipasvir may increase the blood levels and effects of digoxin. You may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use both medications. Contact your doctor if you experience nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, visual disturbances (blurred vision; light halos around objects; green or yellow vision), or an abnormally fast or slow or uneven heartbeat, as these may be signs and symptoms of excessive digoxin levels. 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:

MONITOR: Coadministration with ledipasvir may increase the oral bioavailability of digoxin. The proposed mechanism is ledipasvir inhibition of the P-glycoprotein-mediated intestinal efflux of digoxin. Clinical data are lacking, however.

MANAGEMENT: Serum digoxin levels and pharmacologic effects should be closely monitored following the addition or withdrawal of ledipasvir. Patients should be advised to seek medical attention if they experience signs of digoxin toxicity such as nausea, anorexia, visual disturbances, slow pulse, or irregular heartbeat.
