Ultimo aggiornamento

Per operatori sanitari — solo a scopo di riferimento. Questa pagina è una sintesi breve, non è un parere medico e non sostituisce il RCP ufficiale né il giudizio clinico. Verificare sempre prima di prescrivere o dispensare.

Il contenuto clinico di questa pagina è disponibile solo in inglese.

Sintesi

Clarithromycin strongly inhibits CYP3A4, raising amlodipine and atorvastatin concentrations. This increases the risk of hypotension, edema and acute kidney injury, and of statin-related myopathy or rhabdomyolysis.

Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici

Amlodipine-atorvastatin and Clarithromycin 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; Clarithromycin belongs to Anti Bacterial.

Livello di evidenza: High

Perché avviene

Clarithromycin inhibits CYP3A4 (and P-glycoprotein), reducing metabolism of amlodipine and atorvastatin.

Cosa fare

Avoid the combination if possible by using a non-interacting antibiotic such as azithromycin, or suspend atorvastatin during the course. If used, limit the atorvastatin dose and monitor blood pressure and muscle symptoms.
