Highlights  Example  of  Drug  interac3on  informa3on  in  Highlights  

Lurasidone  hydrochloride  (LATUDA®)-­‐-­‐  •  DOSAGE  AND  ADMINISTRATION  

–  Concomitant  Use  of  a  Moderate  CYP3A4  inhibitor  (e.g.,  dil=azem):  LATUDA  dose  should  be  reduced  to  half  of  the  original  dose  level.  Recommended  star=ng  dose  is  20  mg  per  day.  Maximum  recommended  dose  is  80  mg  per  day.  

–  Concomitant  Use  of  a  Moderate  CYP3A4  inducer:  It  may  be  necessary  to  increase  the  dose  of  LATUDA.  

•  CONTRAINDICATIONS  –  Concomitant  use  with  a  strong  CYP3A4  inhibitor  (e.g.,  ketoconazole).  

–  Concomitant  use  with  a  strong  CYP3A4  inducer  (e.g.,  rifampin).

•  Appropriate  doses  of  the  combina=on  have  not  been  established.  Hence,  it  is  not  recommended  to  co-­‐administer  lopinavir/ritonavir  and  PREZISTA,  with  or  without  ritonavir.

Some  clinical  comments    in  the  darunavir  prescribing  informa3on  (interac=on  with  rifabu=n)  

•  Dose  reduc=on  of  rifabu=n  by  at  least  75%  of  the  usual  dose  (300  mg  once  daily)  is  recommended  (i.e.,  a  maximum  dose  of  150  mg  every  other  day).  Increased  monitoring  for  adverse  events  is  warranted  in  pa=ents  receiving  this  combina=on  and  further  dose  reduc=on  of  rifabu=n  may  be  necessary.
