Nevirapine and Ranolazine ER Tablets
Determining the interaction of Nevirapine and Ranolazine ER Tablets and the possibility of their joint administration.
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:Using ranolazine together with nevirapine is not recommended. Combining these medications may significantly reduce the blood levels of ranolazine, which may make the medication ineffective or less effective. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. 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.
Professional:CONTRAINDICATED: Coadministration with inducers of CYP450 3A4 may decrease the plasma concentrations of ranolazine, which is primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. In pharmacokinetic studies, the potent inducer rifampin (600 mg once a day) has been shown to reduce the plasma concentrations of ranolazine (1000 mg twice a day) by approximately 95%. No data are available for other CYP450 3A4 inducers.
MANAGEMENT: The manufacturer considers the use of ranolazine to be contraindicated in patients taking potent CYP450 3A4 inducers such as carbamazepine, enzalutamide, lumacaftor, mitotane, phenobarbital, phenytoin, primidone (partially metabolized to phenobarbital), rifamycins, and St. John's wort. The extent to which other, less potent CYP450 3A4 inducers may interact with ranolazine is unknown. Caution is advised if they are used with ranolazine.
