Sintesi
Atazanavir, usually boosted with ritonavir or cobicistat, strongly inhibits CYP3A4 and greatly increases simvastatin exposure. This raises the risk of myopathy and rhabdomyolysis, and simvastatin labeling contraindicates it.
Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici
Atazanavir 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.
Atazanavir belongs to Anti Virals; Simvastatin belongs to Cardiovascular.
Perché avviene
Inhibition of CYP3A4-mediated simvastatin metabolism raises simvastatin and its active acid levels.
Cosa fare
Do not combine; switch to a statin with less CYP3A4 dependence such as pravastatin or rosuvastatin, with dose limits as appropriate.
