Macitentan and Nutropin AQ NuSpin 10

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.

Somatropin may reduce the blood levels and effects of macitentan. Contact your doctor if your symptoms worsen or your condition changes during treatment with these medications. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact, or you may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring to safely use both medications. 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

MONITOR: Coadministration with inducers of CYP450 3A4 may decrease the plasma concentrations of macitentan, which is primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. In ten healthy male subjects pretreated with macitentan (30 mg initially, followed by 10 mg once daily) for 5 days, coadministration with the potent CYP450 3A4 inducer rifampin (600 mg once daily) on days 6 through 12 reduced macitentan systemic exposure (AUC) by 79% and trough plasma concentration (Cmin) by 93% compared to macitentan administered alone. There was no significant effect on the AUC of the active metabolite, which has been reported to be approximately 5-fold less potent than macitentan in vitro, but whose systemic exposure in human is 2.5-fold higher than that of macitentan.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when macitentan is used with CYP450 3A4 inducers. The possibility of diminished therapeutic effects should be considered.
