Il contenuto clinico di questa pagina è disponibile solo in inglese.
Sintesi
Atazanavir inhibits CYP3A4 and raises amlodipine exposure, and boosted regimens with ritonavir or cobicistat also raise atorvastatin exposure. This increases the risk of hypotension, edema and statin myopathy.
Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici
Amlodipine-atorvastatin and Atazanavir can interact in a way that may be serious. Using them together is sometimes necessary, but it needs a deliberate decision by the prescriber, a plan for monitoring, and clear advice on the warning signs to watch for.
Amlodipine-atorvastatin belongs to Cardiovascular; Atazanavir belongs to Anti Virals.
Perché avviene
Inhibition of CYP3A4 (and OATP with boosters) reduces clearance of amlodipine and atorvastatin.
Cosa fare
Use a reduced amlodipine dose, with separate agents, and monitor blood pressure and ECG for PR prolongation. Keep atorvastatin at the lowest effective dose and watch for muscle symptoms.
