Sintesi

Cobicistat is a potent CYP3A inhibitor and also inhibits P-glycoprotein, so it may substantially increase doxorubicin concentrations. This can intensify myelosuppression, mucositis and cardiotoxicity.

Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici

Cobicistat and Doxorubicin 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.

Cobicistat belongs to Miscellaneous; Doxorubicin belongs to Oncology.

Livello di evidenza: Moderate

Perché avviene

Cobicistat inhibits CYP3A4 and P-gp, decreasing doxorubicin metabolism and efflux.

Cosa fare

Avoid if possible by using a non-boosted antiretroviral regimen during chemotherapy. If unavoidable, monitor blood counts and cardiac function closely and consider reducing the doxorubicin dose.
