Rythmol Extended Release and Telaprevir
Determining the interaction of Rythmol Extended Release and Telaprevir 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:Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.MONITOR: Coadministration with inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 may increase the plasma concentrations of propafenone, which may result in proarrhythmic events and exaggerated beta-adrenergic blocking activity. In over 90% of patients, propafenone is rapidly and extensively converted to 2 active metabolites: 5-hydroxypropafenone via CYP450 2D6 and N-depropylpropafenone (norpropafenone) via CYP450 3A4 and 1A2. In less than 10% of patients (approximately 6% of Caucasians in the U.S. population), however, metabolism of propafenone is slower because the 5-hydroxy metabolite is not formed, or minimally formed, due to a genetic deficiency in CYP450 2D6. In these so-called poor metabolizers of CYP450 2D6, clearance of propafenone via the CYP450 3A4 and 1A2 metabolic pathways becomes more important, and inhibition of these pathways may substantially increase systemic exposure to propafenone. Likewise, patients taking concomitant inhibitors of both CYP450 2D6 and 3A4 may experience similar pharmacokinetic effects. MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when propafenone is administered with CYP450 3A4 inhibitors. Therapeutic response to propafenone as well as clinical and electrocardiographic evidence of toxicity should be monitored more closely whenever a CYP450 3A4 inhibitor is added to or withdrawn from therapy, and the propafenone dosage adjusted as necessary. Patients should be monitored for potential adverse effects such as new or worsening arrhythmias or heart failure, edema, bradycardia, and atrioventricular block. Simultaneous use of propafenone with both a CYP450 3A4 inhibitor and a CYP450 2D6 inhibitor (or in patients with CYP450 2D6 deficiency) should be avoided. References "Product Information.
