Professional:

Coadministration with inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 may theoretically increase the plasma concentrations of bexarotene. In vitro studies suggest that bexarotene is metabolized by CYP450 3A4. However, concomitant administration with multiple doses of ketoconazole, a potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, did not alter bexarotene plasma concentrations, which would imply that bexarotene elimination is not substantially dependent on CYP450 3A4 metabolism in vivo. Conversely, bexarotene appears to be an inducer of CYP450 3A4 and may reduce the plasma concentrations of CYP450 3A4 inhibitors that are also substrates of the isoenzyme, such as azole antifungals, macrolides, some calcium channel blockers, mifepristone, and nefazodone. The clinical significance is unknown.
