Résumé

Atazanavir inhibits CYP3A4 and can markedly raise sildenafil exposure, increasing the risk of hypotension, syncope, visual disturbances and priapism. With the higher, chronic dosing used for pulmonary arterial hypertension the risk is unacceptable.

Ce que signifie cette interaction, en termes simples

Atazanavir and Sildenafil are not normally used together. Taking them at the same time is expected to cause harm or make one of them unsafe, so a different medicine is usually chosen for one of the two.

Atazanavir belongs to Anti Virals; Sildenafil belongs to Genitourinary.

Niveau de preuve: Moderate

Pourquoi elle survient

Atazanavir inhibits CYP3A4-mediated first-pass and hepatic metabolism of sildenafil, raising its plasma concentrations.

Conduite à tenir

Do not combine atazanavir with sildenafil for pulmonary arterial hypertension. For erectile dysfunction, use a reduced sildenafil dose (for example 25 mg no more often than every 48 hours) and counsel on hypotension and priapism.
