Minor drug interactions do not usually cause harm or require a change in therapy. However, your healthcare provider can determine if adjustments to your medications are needed.

Professional:

Itraconazole, a potent inhibitor of CYP450 3A4, does not appear to significantly affect the pharmacokinetics of available oral hypoglycemic agents, most of which are primarily metabolized by CYP450 2C8 (pioglitazone, rosiglitazone, repaglinide) or 2C9 (nateglinide, sulfonylureas). Modest increases in systemic exposure (AUC) have been reported for repaglinide and nateglinide, which are partially metabolized by CYP450 3A4. A retrospective analysis of pharmacokinetic and safety data from postmarketing surveillance and clinical trials over a 10-year period suggests that itraconazole is generally safe for use in diabetic patients. Specifically, a review of all postmarketing adverse event reports in patients receiving itraconazole concomitantly with insulin or an oral antidiabetic agent revealed 15 reports suggestive of hyperglycemia and 9 reports suggestive of hypoglycemia. In most patients, no change in antidiabetic effect was reported. From clinical trials including a total of 189 diabetic patients treated with itraconazole for various infections, only one itraconazole-related adverse event was recorded: a case of aggravated diabetes in a renal transplant recipient who was also receiving cyclosporine. No specific precautions should be necessary during coadministration of most oral hypoglycemic agents with itraconazole. However, dosage adjustments may be necessary if an interaction is suspected.
