Cetoconazol Generis interactions
Drugs that affect the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of Cetoconazol Generis may alter the plasma concentrations of Cetoconazol Generis. For example, gastric acid suppressants (e.g., antacids, histamine H2-blockers, proton pump inhibitors) have been shown to reduce plasma concentrations of Cetoconazol Generis.
Cetoconazol Generis is a substrate and potent inhibitor of CYP3A4. Therefore, the following drug interactions may occur when Cetoconazol Generis® is co-administered with other drugs that interact with CYP3A4.
- Cetoconazol Generis® may decrease the elimination of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4, thereby increasing their plasma concentrations. Increased exposure to these drugs may cause an increase or prolongation of their therapeutic and/or adverse effects. Concomitant use with Cetoconazol Generis® Tablets is contraindicated for drugs known to present a risk of serious side effects with increased exposure. For others, monitoring of plasma concentrations is advised when possible. Clinical signs and symptoms associated with these drugs should be monitored, with dosage adjusted as needed.
- Inducers of CYP3A4 may decrease the plasma concentrations of Cetoconazol Generis. Cetoconazol Generis® may not be effective in patients concomitantly taking one of these drugs. Therefore, administration of these drugs with Cetoconazol Generis® is not recommended.
- Other inhibitors of CYP3A4 may increase the plasma concentrations of Cetoconazol Generis. Patients who must take Cetoconazol Generis® concomitantly with one of these drugs should be monitored closely for signs or symptoms of increased or prolonged pharmacologic effects of Cetoconazol Generis®.
