Résumé
Danazol increases simvastatin exposure and has been associated with myopathy and rhabdomyolysis when combined with it. The labeling lists this pairing as contraindicated.
Ce que signifie cette interaction, en termes simples
Danazol and Simvastatin 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.
Pourquoi elle survient
Danazol inhibits CYP3A4 and so reduces the metabolism of simvastatin, increasing systemic exposure.
Conduite à tenir
Avoid the combination; if danazol is required, stop simvastatin or switch to a statin not dependent on CYP3A4. Report any unexplained muscle pain or weakness promptly.
