Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.GENERALLY AVOID: Potent inducers of CYP450 3A4 may significantly decrease the plasma concentrations of calcium channel blockers, the majority of which are primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. Undetectable plasma levels have been reported for some calcium blockers when given orally. MANAGEMENT: Concomitant use of calcium channel blockers with potent CYP450 3A4 inducers should generally be avoided. However, if concomitant use is necessary, dosage adjustments as well as close monitoring of pharmacologic effects, particularly blood pressure, should be considered whenever a potent CYP450 3A4 inducer is added to or withdrawn from therapy.
