A doctor should be consulted to address the issue of joint drug administration.

Consumer:

Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.ADJUST DOSE: Coadministration with potent inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 may significantly increase the plasma concentrations of ivacaftor, which is primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. In study subjects, ivacaftor systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 8.5-fold when it was administered concomitantly with ketoconazole, a potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor. When lumacaftor/ivacaftor was coadministered with itraconazole, another potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, lumacaftor pharmacokinetics were not affected, but ivacaftor peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and AUC increased by an average of 3.7- and 4.3-fold, respectively. Due to the induction effect of lumacaftor on CYP450 3A4, at steady state the net AUC of ivacaftor is not expected to exceed that when given in the absence of lumacaftor at a dosage of 150 mg every 12 hours (the approved dosage of ivacaftor monotherapy). For this reason, no dosage adjustment is recommended when CYP450 3A4 inhibitors are initiated in patients already receiving lumacaftor/ivacaftor, whereas a dosage reduction for lumacaftor/ivacaftor is recommended when initiating treatment in patients receiving potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors. When tezacaftor/ivacaftor was coadministered with itraconazole, tezacaftor and ivacaftor AUC increased by 4-fold and 15.6-fold, respectively. Likewise, elexacaftor AUC has also been reported to increase 2.8-fold by itraconazole. MANAGEMENT: Please consult manufacturer's product labeling for complete dosing information. For ivacaftor - The dosage for patients 6 years or older should be reduced to 150 mg twice a week during coadministration with potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors (2 to
