Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.MONITOR: Coadministration with inhibitors of CYP450 1A2 and/or 3A4 may increase the plasma concentrations of tasimelteon, which is primarily metabolized by these isoenzymes. When tasimelteon was administered after 6 days of treatment with the potent CYP450 1A2 inhibitor fluvoxamine 50 mg/day, tasimelteon peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 2- and 7-fold, respectively, compared to tasimelteon administered alone. When administered after 5 days of treatment with the potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor ketoconazole 400 mg/day, tasimelteon AUC increased by approximately 50%. MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if tasimelteon is prescribed in combination with inhibitors of CYP450 1A2 and/or 3A4. Patients should be monitored for excessive sedation and other side effects.
