Relevance: 08.05.2022 Reviewer: Shkutko P.M., M.D., in

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.ADJUST DOSE: Coadministration with potent inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 may significantly increase the plasma concentrations of tofacitinib, which is metabolized by the isoenzyme. In study subjects, administration with the potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitor ketoconazole increased tofacitinib systemic exposure (AUC) by greater than 2-fold compared to administration of tofacitinib alone. Side effects including lymphopenia, neutropenia, anemia, serious infections, and hyperlipidemia may be increased. MANAGEMENT: The dosage of tofacitinib should be reduced by 50% when used with potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors. For example, the dose for patients receiving 10 mg twice daily should be reduced to 5 mg twice daily and the dose for patients receiving 5 mg twice daily should be reduced to 5 mg once daily. For patients receiving 11 mg once daily of the extended-release formulation, the dose should be reduced to 5 mg once daily of the immediate-release formulation. References Cerner Multum, Inc.
